Lullabies

Lucy Eddy

From “Valley and Mesa”

I
SLEEP, my little sun-god,

Dream of gold and blue!

Skies that shone with song-light

Swing their bells of dew,

Tapping silver music

Soft and low for you.

Listen! they are singing,

“Little one, dream true.”

II
Hush! the brooding wood-notes

Fainter grow;

Violet are the vineyards,

Wine-winds blow;

Purple music hymning

Deep and low.
