Cradle Song
From groves of spice,
Athwart the lotus-stream,
I bring for you,
Aglint with dew
A little lovely dream.
Sweet, shut your eyes,
The wild fire-fiies
Dance through the fairy neem;
From the poppy-bole
For you I stole
A little lovely dream.
Dear eyes, good-night,
In golden light
The stars around you gleam;
On you I press
With soft caress
A little lovely dream.
Simple, but very effective. I do like the rhyme-scheme.
Sounds like a dream I would be happy to have. 🙂 What wonderful language.
