~Verse!

.

Close your eyes and drift away to sleep,
Stars that shine above you will guide you to your dreams.
If you should wake, remember where you are,
I'll be here to hold you and rock you in my arms.
And love, my sweetest love, I'll place a kiss upon your cheek,
As I wait.....'till slumber calls your name
So close your eyes and drift away to sleep,
Let the night, hold you tight, until the dawning of the day.

by Eugene Field (1919)
