O, how I wish that we could melt
within the circle of our arms.
The night is dark as poppy’s pith
and like a poppy brings the Sleep.
I’ll sing a lullaby! Don’t leave!..
Let’s watch the trees wave their sleeves,
let’s make our bed on heaps of leaves.
The petals fall and every whiff
of air is sweet.
I’ll kiss your palm
And you will fall asleep so calm.
