A Mother's Night

Oh my,

How sweet the

Lullaby

Steals her tears

From crying eyes.

Whisking her weeping

Off its feet.

Silent harmonies

Sail her across the dark

Harbor, mooring her

Off to sleep.

Laying her fretless in

Softened quilts

Her mother hopes

Will keep.

Stealing away from

Her berth

The mother makes

A retreat.

Feeling lonely without

Her warmth

The baby’s eyes doth peep,

The baby's eyes doth peep.
