Mother Earth's Sweet Lullaby

“I brush away the shadows and all the stars leave cries; I kiss you good night and all is calm again; (I believe my love for you extends to the skies.) The hearts singing out in lows and highs, And convulsing equator beats in: I brush away the shadows and all the stars leave cries. I imagined that you danced with flies And exasperated my kin, laughing in vain. (I believe my love for you extends to the skies.) Apollo melts away; Artemis howls with her rise: Dim away chariot and chain: I brush away the shadows and all the stars leave cries. I conceived you’d mature in size, And I dream of hopes that I detain. (I believe my love for you extends to the skies.) You grow and I lie in wait for the surprise; At last I feel your breath it soothes the world again. I brush away the shadows and all the stars leave cries. (I believe my love for you extends to the skies.)
