A Wintry Lullaby

Laurence Alma-Tadema

Blow, wind, blow, The fields are white with snow — Sleeping daisies, deep and warm, Cannot hear the Winter storm.

Freeze, air, freeze, The rime is on the trees — Sleeping buds within the bough, Dream of spring and cuckoos now.

Turn, earth, turn, The flames of life do burn — Sleeping girl, my baby dove, Knows no world but mother's love.
