Lullaby
Lay your sleeping head my loveHuman on my faithless armsTime and fevers burn awaybeauty from thoughtful childand the graveProves the child ephemeralBut in my arms till break of dayLet the living creature lieMortal, guilty but to meThe entirely beautifulSo let the winds of dawn that blowSoftly round your dreaming headSuch a day of welcome showEye and knocking hearth may blessFind our mortal world enoughNoons of dryness find you fedBy the involuntary powersNights of insult let you passWatched by every human loveCertainty fidelityOn the stroke of midnight passLetras de cancionesLike vibrations of a bellAnd fashionable madmen raiseTheir pathetic cryEvery cent of dollarAnd all that dreaded cards foretellShould be paid but from this nightNot a whisper not a thoughtNot a kiss nor look be lostYou are mortal
