Léonie Adams

Lullaby

Hush, lullay.
 
Your treasures all
 
Encrust with rust,
 
Your trinket pleasures fall
 
        To dust.
 
 
 
Beneath the sapphire arch,
 
Upon the grassy floor,
 
Is nothing more
 
        To hold,
 
And play is over-old.
 
Your eyes
 
        In sleepy fever gleam,
 
Their lids droop
 
        To their dream.
 
You wander late alone,
 
The flesh frets on the bone,
 
Your love fails in your breast,
 
Here is the pillow.
 
Rest.
