A bed-time song Song Lyrics
Print Version
Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown;
It always sails at the end of day,
Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so;
A sleepy kiss is the only fare,
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and I in the rocking chair,
See where the firelogs glow and spark
Glitter the lights of the shadowland;
The winter rain in the window, hark!
Are ripples lapping upon its strand.
There! where the mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and still,
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the windowsill,
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down!
Dear little passenger, say "Good night" -
We've reach'd the harbor of Shadowtown.

That languish in these flames for thee?
I'm Black, 'tis true; why, so is Night,
And Love doth in Dark shades delight...." | A Celtic Lullaby
"Lennavanmo Lennavanmo who is it swinging you to and fro
With a long low swing and a sweet low croon

He stole my heart away, wrote to me a letter,
His hammer all in his hand he looked so brave and clever,
And if I was with my love, I would live forever...." | A bookworm
"A moth devoured words. When I heard of that wonder
It struck me as a strange event
That a worm should swallow the song of some man.
A thief gorge in the darkness on a great man's..." | A brisk young sailor courted me

He stole away my liberty,
He won my heart with a free good-will,
He's false, I know, but I love him still...." | A brown bird singing
"All through the night there's a little brown bird singing,
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew.
Would that his song through the stillness could go winging,
Could go winging to you,..." | A cavalry catch
"Up! for the bugles are calling,
Saddle and boot, and away!
Sabres are clanking and lances are glancing,
The colonel is fuming and horses are prancing,..." | A cemetery

And Lads and Girls;
Was laughter and ability and sighing,
And frocks and curls...." | |
