Woman with
|
A child's dress on
|
Long hair
|
Drapes the arm
|
That cradles a daughter
|
Who would sleep
|
Blacks eyes open
|
And beating
|
But is afraid
|
|
Little cat
|
His hair set on end
|
Bolts from a sleeping coil
|
At a sound that you know
|
You have heard in your dreams
|
O, come
|
To the window my darling
|
Your heart repeats my own
|
These long rooms are dark
|
The might not much brighter
|
From here we can watch the road
|
A small man is catching
|
The hot knife that flies
|
O, hush little baby, you're crying
|
And your tears taste like the rain
|
