Lullaby

Weep not, child—
Smile upon thy mother,
When you are old, there’s grief enough,
Weep not, child—
Your mother has wept, your father has sighed,
Weep not, child—
Smile upon the sun —
When you are old, there’s grief enough,
And night is coming. night is coming.
Weep not, child— night has come.
