Guard against a wise,
Shun a timid youth and sad,
Hide from haunted eyes.

The terrible weight of tears.

And in the morning light
He left me there.

Lullaby  (by: Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967))
Sleep, pretty lady, the night is enfolding you;
Drift, and so lightly, on crystalline streams.
Wrapped in its perfumes, the darkness is holding you;

Chorus the nightingales, wistfully amorous;
Blessedly quiet, the blare of the day.

She's the one will do the weeping!
