Random Poem of the Day
2 Wind of the western sea,
3Low, low, breathe and blow,
4 Wind of the western sea!
5Over the rolling waters go,
6Come from the dying moon, and blow,
7 Blow him again to me;
8While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
9Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
10 Father will come to thee soon;
11Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
12 Father will come to thee soon;
13Father will come to his babe in the nest,
14Silver sails all out of the west
15 Under the silver moon:
16Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
