An extract from a poem written for my grandchildren to Brahms Lullaby <br /> <br />Sleep; little mice sleep <br />Mother will watch over you <br />Shut your eyes and don't peek <br />Tomorrow the skies will be blue <br />Sleep; little mice sleep. <br /> <br />Sleep; little mice sleep <br />No harm will come whilst I am here <br />The sun has gone down by the peak <br />When the day dawns it will appear <br />Sleep; little mice sleep. <br /> <br />Sleep; little mice sleep <br />Your father is watching the house <br />That no owl or cat dares to seek <br />Harm to creatures or mouse <br />Sleep; little mice sleep. <br /> <br />Sleep; little mice sleep <br />Tomorrow you run and play <br />Now is not time to speak <br />When you awake a new day <br />Sleep; little mice sleep. <br /> <br />Sleep; little mice sleep <br />Rest now for your own sake <br />Shut your eyes now be asleep <br />I will be here when you awake <br />Sleep; little mice sleep.<br /><br />Thomas Golding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maria-s-lullaby/
