About this book
Love's lullaby : for contralto voice and piano
Author: Lee, Edna K.
Year: 1919
I dreamed my babe of you last night, / You slept again love on your pillow so white, / But your crib was of pearls in a garden so fair, / And I sang to your dear as you lay smiling there, / And the tress echoed back my lullaby song, / As they waved in the twilight and hummed the night long, / Lullaby, lullaby, sleep my little one sleep. / Lullaby, lullaby, sleep my little one sleep. / My dream was changed you took your flight, / Your face was so sweet and your eyes were so bright, / That I knew my sweet love that my gem oh so rare, / Could not stay with me long but was bound over there. / On the shore of the sea of rest and of sleep, / Where the angels would sing and their water o’er you keep. / Lullaby, lullaby, sleep my little one sleep. / Lullaby, lullaby, angels their watch o’er you keep.
