Come let your brown hair just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old;
Let it fall my forehead tonight
Shading my faint eyes away from the lght
For with its edged shadows once more
HAPPY 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 hushed to your lullaby song
Since then, and unto my soul it pha seem,
Womanhood's years have been but dream.
Clasped to your arms in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake to weep,
iock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep
