A BIRD'S CRADLE-SONG, by                    
First Line: Weary, weary loves!
Last Line: To the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below.
Subject(s): Birds


WEARY, weary loves!
Day is o'er and past;
Every drooping lily bell
Chimes good-night at last.
Softly! nursing winds
Swing them to and fro
With the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below.

Even the willow leaves
Brooding silence keep;
All the great, good world is hushed --
Hushed that you may sleep!
But in heaven two wee, wee stars
Dance and whirl and glow
To the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below.
