Lullaby sang in Cortos

“Softly softly lay thy head
Down upon thy cotton bed
Sleep now sleep now child of mine
Guarded by the Hand Divine

Let thy mind now wander free
Through the autumn apple-trees
Light upon the boat so small
Row on down the waterfall

Drift on down the living stream
Set thy bow for the Ocean’s dream.”

(Cortos is a fictional country in my most recent novel Tears and a Starlit Sky)
