That to hers in kissing clings,

As she rocks and sings to the baby,

And dreams as she rocks and sings.

I hear her rocking the baby,

Slower and slower now,

And I know she is leaving her good-night kiss

On its eyes, and cheek, and brow.

From her rocking, rocking, rocking,

I wonder would she start,

Could she know, through the wall between us,
