We can't ever offfer
That inside sleep
Of solitude and peace.
Yet this promise
We will keep.
Wake or asleep,
We are with you.
Always.
So, Sleep, Ciaran. Sleep.
Let no one claim your dreams;
Listen to your childhood rhymes;
Worry not of place or time,
For all is still
As it seems.
Oh! Sleep, Angel. Sleep.
Shield your heart
As a secret power
In your waking hours.
Spread your winged smile
With candescence,
To brighten, and alit,
Where Angels sleep.
