A Lullaby Poem by Patience Worth

A Lullaby



Dream, dream, thou flesh of me,
Dream thou next my breast.
Dream, dream, and coax the stars
To light thee at thy rest.

Sleep, sleep, thou breath of Him
Who watcheth thee and me.
Dream, dream, and dreaming,
Coax that He shall see.

Rest, rest, thou fairy form
That presseth soft my breast.
Rest, rest, and nestle warm,
And rest and rest and rest.

I find Patience Worth fascinating! If you look up who she was I'm sure most of you will be just as intrigued!
