Rock Me To Sleep

A toad pushes the tadpole away, 
Mounts her sweetie on her back and sings:
I had known love before I knew  my child-
Rock me to sleep.

I slip to my honey's side,
He slides his laps on mine
If it would become a baby so be it-
Rock me to  sleep.

A cock rocks and rocks his hen, 
Tilts to her again and quests:
Shall we rock more ?shall we rock more?
Rock me to sleep.

When I scream like bird in brood 
Or  I gasp as blacksmith's belows,
Mind me not I have no pain;
Just rock me to  sleep.
