ROCK ME- TO SLEEP.
Backward, turn backward, oh Time in
H;nht

Backward, turn backward, oh Time in you
flight,
Make me child again, just for to night
Mother. come back from the echoes. shore,
Take me again to your heart a, of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock mefto sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl
Backward, Aow backward. oh tide of years;
am weary Of tolls aud of tears
Tolls without recompense-tears all in vain
Take them and give me my childhood again!
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of dinging my soul wealth away
Weary OF sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother-lock me to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you!
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded-our faces between
ct with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long tonight for your presence again;
Come from the silence: so long aud so deep
Rock ME to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Over my heart in the days that are flown.
N O love like mother love ever was she VIII
No other worship abides and cndures,
Faithful. unselfsh, aud patient, like yours;
None like mother can charm away pain,
From the sick soul and world weary brain;
Slumber's soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brow hair, Just lighted will,
gold.
Fall on Your shoulders again as of OLD
Lett fall over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the Light
For with its sunny edged shadows once more,
Happily will throng the sweet visions of yore,
Lovingly. softly, its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Mother. dear mother, the years have been long
since last hus he'd to yoar lullaby song
Since then, and unto III. ssul it shall seem,
"omanhsod's S years have been but dream;
Clasped to your arms in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hei eafter to wake o. 10 weep.
Rock nae to sleep, mother rock me to s'eep!
