MOTHER SONG

Image result for mother songI shall make a song for my baby
With a sleepy sweet refrain,
I shall make a song for my baby
Like the melody of rain
Like the music of raindrops falling
On nipa roofs so brown,
Like the music of raindrops calling
To flowers asleep in the ground.

I shall weave a tread of moonlight
Into the  fabric of my song,
A silvery thread of moonlight
That shall gleam the whole night long.

For a silver thread of moonlight
Can cast a spell so deep,
The very stars of midnight
Stand motionless ----asleep!

 Shall make a song for my baby
With a sleepy sweet refrain,
It shall have the charm of moonlight

And the melody of rain.
