DAVID AND BATHSHUA: A LULLABY, by                    
First Line: Darkness steals o'er hill and valley
Last Line: For silence broods upon a world at rest.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Flowers; Peace; Rest; Silence; Spring


DARKNESS steals o'er hill and valley,
In the heavens one pale star shines,
Whilst the nightjar's murmurous music
Breathes the magic of the pines.
Sleep: sleep: in happy slumbers blest,
For Silence broods upon a world at rest.
