William Butler Yeats - LullabyWilliam Butler Yeats - Lullaby
Work rating: Medium


Beloved, may your sleep be sound That have found it where you fed. What were all the world`s alarms To mighty paris when he found Sleep upon a golden bed That first dawn in Helen`s arms? Sleep, beloved, such a sleep As did that wild Tristram know When, the potion`s work being done, Roe could run or doe could leap Under oak and beechen bough, Roe could leap or doe could run; Such a sleep and sound as fell Upon Eurotas` grassy bank When the holy bird, that there Accomplished his predestined will, From the limbs of Leda sank But not from her protecting care.
