Silent Sleep


To thee my love, a song I write

To you who doth shine so bright

Like a star in the sky

Or the full moon as dawn is nigh

Sleeping peacefully on the ground

But dreaming higher than the sound

Of the trees, rustling in the wind

Their own little message, to me do send

As one night you will wake

Please today, for my sake

That in heaven may we next, not meet

As holding back tears, is not a simple feat
