William Blake - Cradle SongWilliam Blake - Cradle Song
Work rating: Medium


Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,            Dreaming in the joys of night;            Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep            Little sorrows sit and weep.                        Sweet babe, in thy face            Soft desires I can trace,            Secret joys and secret smiles,            Little pretty infant wiles.                        As thy softest limbs I feel,            Smiles as of the morning steal            O`er thy cheek, and o`er thy breast            Where thy little heart doth rest.                        O the cunning wiles that creep            In thy little heart asleep!            When thy little heart doth wake,            Then the dreadful night shall break.
