Morpheus

Morpheus

Oh hush! Hush darling daughter softly hush
Our days are cruel, yet to noble end
We find our power gentle, do not rush
For greater ends will come around the bend.

Sleep now my sweet for grieving time is done
Forgive the man who took your bosom claimed
And rest my child within my comfort, swoon
The night was made for slumber now so tamed.

Do not despair for now my love is sweet
Take heart, my child, forego despair and see
My dark, my salve, my comfort boon do meet.
Fear not for deep in fancy you will be.

Dream, oh dreamer dread not a faceless flaw
But sleep and dance till morning light you saw
