I taught my tongue so many things -
I taught it lullabies.
I sang them softly to my sons,
until they closed their eyes.

I sang them for the wakeful world
and it raved on and on.
It would not rest, it did not heed
the song upon my tongue.

I sang them to my troubles then,
my own, so very near,
and when they fell asleep I saw
how sweet their faces were.

My sons awoke, the world raved on,
my troubles stirred and coughed.
"Sleep on a while," I softly said,
and sang again so soft.
