CRADLE SONG
*by: William Blake (1757-1827)*
**LEEP, 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.
