Lullaby

Close your eyes my lovely one

Dive into your world of dream

Sleep till night and dark are done

Then wake upon the golden stream

Of light that fills your little room.

Rest now while I sing of kings

And angels that dispel all gloom

And princesses with silver wings

To fly above this world of tears.

I cannot follow where you go

For time has stolen childhood's years

Though this my precious one I know,

You are the promise and the sign

My treasure and my gift divine.
