Explore "Lullaby for a Baby Fairy" by Joyce Kilmer on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Night is over; through the clover globes of crystal shine; / Birds are calling; sunlight falling on the wet green vine. / Little wings must folded lie, little lips be still / While the sun is in the sky, over Fairy Hill. / Sleep, sleep, sleep, / Baby with buttercup hair, / Golden rays / Into the violet creep. / Dream, dream deep; / Dream of the night revels fair. / Daylight stays; / Sleep, little fairy child, sleep.
Rest in daytime; night is playtime, all good fairies know. / Under sighing grasses lying, off to slumber go / Night will come with stars agleam, lilies in her hand, / Calling you from Hills of Dream back to Fairyland. / Sleep, sleep, sleep, / Baby with buttercup hair; / Golden rays / Into the violet creep. / Dream, dream deep; / Dream of the night-revels fair. / Daylight stays; / Sleep, little fairy child, sleep.
