Come, Sweet Slumber
Come, sweet slumber,
Wrap me in soft plush,
Rock me in rhythm,
Starlight for pillows.
Come, sweet slumber,
As I drift past the edges
Whisper your secrets.
and shroud me in moonlight.
Come, Sweet Slumber
sing to me silence
Tonight I surrender,
hush-laden, drifting soft.
Come, Sweet Slumber
for night’s gentle reign
shall hush all the clamor.
Let burdens dissolve.
Come, Sweet Slumber
in the dusk of dreams
Stars hang their lanterns
in filigrees of gold.
Come, Sweet Slumber
Let worries fall quiet,
Bathe me in stillness,
And hush the day’s sorrows
Come, Sweet Slumber
Guard me from nightmares
Thread star-silver moments
Where breath slows its tempo.
Come, Sweet Slumber
Lead me past longing,
Guard me from shadows
And let me not regret.
