Go to sleep,
Little Child,
A world of wonder awaits,
Of sapphire seas,
Golden beaches,
Emerald meadows,
With ruby roses,
Of purest form,
Never seen,
By this world.
Where your heart leads,
To beauty unimagined,
Where you're free to explore,
With me
The days shall be formed of
Warm, caressing sunbeams,
The nights
Of diamond-studded ebony
A world of play,
A world of laughter
A world beyond worlds,
Where, someday, perhaps, you can go
With your own child
If only,
You go to sleep.
