Sleep, O my darling, sleep, Safe folded are the sheep; The faint stars lie in the quiet sky, The soft wind croons thy lullaby; The leaves upon the linden tree Are whispering tenderly to thee; And close at hand lies Slumberland, O, sleep, my darling, sleep. Wake, O my darling, wake, The sunbeams kiss the lake; The seagulls fly to the eastern sky, The happy ships are sailing by; The birds upon the linden tree Are calling merrily to thee; The whole glad earth is rimmed with mirth O, wake, my darling, wake. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIDELITY by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH LOVE'S WORD by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE TENNESSEE; PRIZE CENTENNIAL ODE (1896) by VIRGINIA FRAZER BOYLE TO DAMON by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON SONG OF THE COLONISTS DEPARTING FOR NEW ZEALAND by THOMAS CAMPBELL TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 4.
