Now I Lay Me Down

My steed is strong and nimble
thy need is great and ample

Thou rake me with the bough
now splay me with your rowel

Rein me in, let me dream
feign would I so like to stream

Run with me across the sky
fun arrears in my eye

Softly I sing to you
Softly I bring to you

Hold tight in your turn
bold and fast is your stern

Now let it simmer in relief
Bow to thou in belief

Twinkle twinkle little star
tinkle high in your peignoir

High above the clouds you fly
sigh so deep you think you’ll die
