Lullaby

EP, sleep, my treasure,         The long day's pleasure Has tired the birds, to their nests they creep;         The garden still is         Alight with lilies,

But all the daisies are fast asleep.         Sleep, sleep, my darling,         Dawn wakes the starling,

The sparrow stirs when he sees day break;         But all the meadow     Is wrapped in shadow,

And you must sleep till the daisies wake!
