Free verse № 86
rock me to sleep tonight:
pluck the mandolin of treetops tender
string the harp with shimmering light off morning dew
beat the earth like drums with moonbeams splendor
stir the skies to sing so sweetly eternal ever new
sound the pipes and take me back
to the days of chivalry in years of yore
crash of ocean wave her cymbol attack
dance on til dawn upon the sanded shore
in wood and meadow, ocean or on air
twined in layers of richest red
plaited within mother natures hair
soft the fern are lain for my bed
sing to me mother, warble like the lark
i shall lay my head down, my eyes close soft
lull me to slumber in the sultry dark
i shall fly in dreams toward the stars aloft
