LULLABY

Table of Contents

Day is stealing down the West,

Tender, drowsy sounds are heard;

Closer now each downy bird

Creeps 'neath mother-wings to rest.

In the fading sky afar,

Kindled by some angel hand,

Twinkling comes a tiny star—

Baby's guide to Sleepy-Land.

Cooler, darker grows the air,

Eerie shadows haunt the room;

In the garden, through the gloom,

'Wildering bats and owlets fare;

But the lambs and birdies seem

Happy now at home to keep,

And a darling little dream

Smiles at baby in his sleep.
