Poem by Dollie Radford

* * *

SLEEP, my little dearest one,
I will guard thy sleep,
Safely little nearest one,
I will hold thee deep,
In the dark unfathomed sea
Where sweet dreams are made for thee.
Rest my little baby dear,
I will watch thy rest,
Thou shalt feel the waters near
Only on my breast;
In the strong and tender tide,
Still my love shall be thy guide.

2. Because Your Treasure Is Near
3. If My Poor Words Were Colours
4. The Clavichord
5. Love My Heart Is Aching, Aching
