Daphne's Lullaby

Make my bed beneath the willow
Let me watch the stars tonight.
The dewy grass will be my pillow
And fireflies will be my light.

Let me slumber by the river,
Find my peace among the reeds.
In the shadows let me shiver—
Open sky is what I need.

The wind will croon its soothing song
As the sun sinks from the sky.
Though the night be deep and long,
Let the forest close my eyes.
