Rue’s Lullaby

“Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow
Lay down your head
And close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open
The sun will rise
Here it is safe
Here it is warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet
Here your dreams are true
Here is the place where I love you
Deep in the meadow
Hidden far away
A cloak of leaves
A moonbeam ray
Forget your woes
And let your troubles lay
And when again it’s morning
They’ll wash away
Here it is safe
Here it is warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet
Here your dreams are true
Here is the place I love you “
