Sleeping On the Shore

There he lies sleeping on the shore How innocent how divine how pure No worries or sadness can reach him now All seen is comfort on his angelic brow Shh! be quite! Stop! Leave him there! If he was alive he’d appreciate your care No more worries shall we have for the dead So leave him sleeping on the shore, his new bed No more sadness or joy For that little boy
