Star Child’s Lullaby

Sleep my child
Sleep to the flickering
Of the campfire light
Dancing shadows
Dances the tree branches

Dream of the unicorns
Forest fairy rings
Dream of those magical things

What the wood nymph sings
Sleep away my child
Sleep deeply

In your moss maiden bed
Beautiful are the little white flowers
That dances around your head
Close your eyes

Ever so softly grin
Good night
Good night
As the firelight
Dims…
