Lullaby

Sadness
softly I sing for you
my love, my dear one
along the winter night
across the blackened sea
to where you lie curled
awake in your cold bed
and weep in bitterness
your mother dead
Weep hard weep long
the morning will not hurry
the rain will fall
and join you as you mourn
I sing here far away
along the grey wind
across the winter sea
a requiem for the day
