Lullaby

Florence Kilpatrick Mixter

COME, sleep. Her heart’s a wood-anemone.

Her thoughts are swallows flown

Across the dusk. Her hair’s a willow-tree

By the west wind blown.

Her eyes are pools where bubbles rise and break—

Dream-bubbles from the deep.

Her soul’s a moth that flutters in their wake.

Come sleep…. come sleep….
