A LULLABY
Sleep, dearest, sleep.
The birds are still,
The trees are hushed
Upon the hill.
Oh, in green dreamland valleys deep
Rest, dearest, rest—sleep, dearest, sleep.
The birds are still,
The trees are hushed
Upon the hill.
Oh, in green dreamland valleys deep
Rest, dearest, rest—sleep, dearest, sleep.
Rest, Alice, rest,
And wait for me.
If Gods be kind
I come to thee!
Oh, in thine eyes the dawn is deep,
Rest, Alice, rest—sleep, Alice, sleep.
And wait for me.
If Gods be kind
I come to thee!
Oh, in thine eyes the dawn is deep,
Rest, Alice, rest—sleep, Alice, sleep.
