Subject(s): Wind


Wind of the night, sing high, sing low,
A lullaby song for my laddie-O.
Sing him a song in a happy key
For I want him to love your melody.

Sing him a soft little lilting tune
Of hanging gardens beyond the moon,
Of ships that sail and stars that shine,
And birds that nest in the silvery pine.

And if you must sing in a minor strain,
Brush all the tear-drops out of the rain.
Teach him there's beauty in songs that are sad --
Too somber those eyes for so tiny a lad.

Oh, wind of the night, sing high, sing low,
A lullaby song for my laddie-O!
