Sing you to sleep
with songs of the night,
tree frogs and peepers
and birds of dark flight.
Sing you to sleep
to a sleep without fright.
Sing them to sleep
who are lost in the night,
the cold and the hungry
confused, beyond sight.
Sing them a sleep
that is safe through the night.
Sing me to sleep
in the last lonesome night,
past dreams and illusions
no matter how bright.
Sing me to sleep
to awake in the light.
