Silver sails all out of the west,

Under the silver moon;

Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.

—Alfred Tennyson.

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray;

This is the ferry for Shadowtown;

It always sails at the end of the day,

Just as the darkness closes down.

Rest little head, on my shoulder, so;
