LULLABIES
I
Sleep, my little sun-god, Dream of gold and blue!
Skies that shone with song-light Swing their bells of dew,
Tapping silver music
Soft and low for you. Listen! they are singing,
"Little one, dream true."
I1 Hush! the brooding wood-notes
Fainter grow; Violet are the vineyards, Wine-winds blow;
Purple music hymning Deep and low.
THE SINGING SANDS
Over the graying desert Broods the sky.
Clouds drift-sands shift Night winds sigh.
Through the hush and stillness Silver shadows fly.
In the sand a foot-fall
Sings and passes by. Lucy Eddy
