Rose Toada

Jeannette Marks

From “Shadow Songs”
A Sleep Song

SHOO, Rose Toada, shoo!

Jeweled red eye for you.

Shoo, Rose Toada, shoo!

Hoosh, Rose Toada, hoosh!

Little green snake in the bush.

Hoosh, Rose Toada, hoosh!

Bizz, Rose Toada, buzz!

Gold on its wings and fuzz.

Bizz, Rose Toada, buzz!
