'Tis night on the mountain, 'Tis night on the sea, Mild dewdrops are kissing The bloom-covered lea; Like plumes gently waving, The soft zephyrs creep; The birds are all dreaming, Then sleep, darling, sleep. 'Tis night on the mountain, 'Tis night on the sea, Away in the distance The stars twinkle free; O'er all of His creatures His watch He will keep Who guardeth the sparrows-- Then, sleep, darling, sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 7.
