And Love is down from the starry skies With lilies for the little eyes, And a dream in each of paradise, So sleep, little baby, Sleep, little baby, Sleep! Sh! Sleep, little baby! THE UNASSUAGED YEARS How poignantly I rue The unassuaged years, When unbeknown to you, I dreamed a heaven, in tears, Of silence and dim sleep Deep as the dust is deep!
