Lullaby

字號(hào):


     Beloved, may your sleep be sound
     That have found it where you fed.
     What were all the world‘s alarms
     To mighty Paris when he found
     Sleep upon a golden bed
     That first dawn in Helen‘s arms?
     Sleep, beloved, such a sleep
     As did that wild Tristram know
     When, the potion‘s work being done,
     Roe could run or doe could leap
     Under oak and beechen bough,
     Roe could leap or doe could run;
     Such a sleep and sound as fell
     Upon Eurotas‘ grassy bank
     When the holy bird, that there
     Accomplished his predestined will,
     From the limbs of Leda sank
     But not from her protecting care.
