Classic Poem

Forget yourself into a child,
And let me be the cradling arms
Of far away and long ago ...
Lay away trouble and pain, lay them away,
Lay them on me, my own,
And give your soul into mine.

Come from many troubles into peace,
Come from tired travel into rest ...
Float away on the waters of melodious mothering silence,
Down to the sea of sleep,
Down to the Deep of Dreams.
