A lullaby for a hard day.

Fear not my sweeting
for the the day is o’er
through dire trials many
sleep you now secure.
For all the people
and kindness they have shown
never will leave you
to face the dark alone.
Though there is darkness
ever comes the sun
pulled up from the ocean deep
by these blessed ones.
See watching over
clad in green and blue
doubtless and fearless
they watch over you.
Into all dangers
go they for all
sleep knowing dear one
they protect the small.
Though there is darkness
ever comes the sun
pulled up from the ocean deep
by these blessed ones.
From fearful city
to uneasy towns
none can take our deeds,
they will not cut down.
Many the hands
that come to bear the load
ever we forward look
unwavering from the road.
Though there is darkness
ever comes the sun
pulled up from the ocean deep
by these blessed ones.
Fear not my sweeting
for the the day is o’er
though dire trials many
sleep you now secure.
For all the people
and kindness they have shown
never will leave you
to face the dark alone.
Though there is darkness
ever comes the sun.

*I offer half-hearted apologies for any guinea pig noises there might be in the background (there’s a big, ridiculous thud in the middle of this song. This would be a jumping guinea pig. This was recorded at the kitchen table, clock ticking and all, and it seemed that the pigs were mostly quiet but you know – it’s a lullaby. And there’s life, noisy, funny life in the background. Which is exactly how it should be, every day. And this was also a song I just wasn’t willing to let wait until tomorrow.
