LULLABY by PEARL LENORE POLLARD CURRAN

First Line: DREAM, DREAM, THOU FLESH OF ME!
Last Line: AND REST AND REST AND REST.

Dream, dream, thou flesh of me!
Dream thou next my breast.
Dream, dream and coax the stars
To light thee at thy rest.

Sleep, sleep, thou breath of Him
Who watcheth thee and me.
Dream, dream, and dreaming,
Coax that He shall see.

Rest, rest thou fairy form
That presseth soft my breast.
Kest, rest and nestle warm,
And rest and rest and rest.
