Show LULLABY. ' " CT Dear little girl, good night, good night. The pretty birds in their nests are still. We watched the sun as he sank from sigh Over thu tree tops on yonder hill. Two stars have come since the daylight went 'Way over there in the sky's dark blue. They must be angels that God has sent To watch my baby the whole night through. Dear little girl, good night, good night. I hear the frogs in the meadow call. They croak and croak in the evening light Down in tho pond by the old stone walL I think perh::ps that they tell the flower9 Never to fear, though the world is dark. They know the firefly lights the hours All night long with his cheerful spark. Dear little girl, good night, good night. Dear little head, with your silky hair, Dear little form, that I hold so tight. Cozy and warm in the nursery chair, Whito lids are veiling the eyes eq clear. Over their tlueness the fringes creep. Slower and slower I rock you, dear, My little girl, asleep, asleep. -May Hayden Taylor in GoodHousekeeping- |
