TRAGEDIES: 3 by THEOPHILE JULIUS HENRY MARZIALS

First Line: MY LITTLE LOVE, MY LILY WAN
Last Line: I'LL DRIFT YOU INTO THE ENDLESS SEA!
Subject(s): DREAMS; LIFE; LOVE; MOON; NIGHT; SEA; SLEEP; NIGHTMARES; BEDTIME; OCEAN;

My little love, my lily wan,
Of life so weary, weep on me!
Come lay your head, and on, and on,
I'll ripple low love-tales to thee!

In calm white moonlight sleeps the swan,
The reeds are wooing the willow-tree;
Asleep and dreaming, on, and on,
I'll drift you into the endless sea!
