First Line: Oh, little cot beside the wood
Last Line: The moon shall keep, the moon shall keep.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


Oh, little cot beside the wood,
Whose windows twain are dark with sleep,
Thine icicles along the eves
The moon shall keep, the moon shall keep.

The rounded snow upon thy roof,
The snows about thee many deep,
Far better than the midday sun,
The moon shall keep, the moon shall keep.
