Edgar Guest - A LullabyEdgar Guest - A Lullaby
Work rating: Low


THE dream ship is ready, the sea is like gold And the fairy prince waits in command; There`s a cargo of wonderful dreams in the hold, For the baby that seeks Slumberland. There are fairies in pink and good fairies in white, A watch o`er the baby to keep, Now the silver sails fill with the breeze of the night, All aboard, for the Harbor of Sleep! I pray that no tempest shall ruffle the sea Through the long night that he is away; And I pray the good captain will bring him to me With a smile at the close of the day. Oh, soft as his breath be the breezes that blow, And gentle the long waves that sweep The wonderful ship that is waiting to go With my babe to the Harbor of Sleep. Softly, so softly, the ship slips away With its silver sails catching the breeze, The stars in the sky seem to twinkle and say Our watch we will keep o`er the seas. And never a tempest shall happen this night, But peace shall slip down on the deep, Safe and sound shall return, with the coming of light, Your babe from the Harbor of Sleep.
