Sweet dreams form a shade
O'er my lovely infants head.
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams,
By happy silent moony beams
Sweet sleep with soft down,
Weave thy brows an infant crown.
Sweet sleep Angel mild,
Hover o'er my happy child.
Sweet smiles in the night,
Hover over my delight.
Sweet smiles Mothers smiles
All the livelong night beguiles.
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs,
Chase not slumber from thy eyes,
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles,
All the dovelike moans beguiles.
Sleep sleep happy child.
All creation slept and smil'd.
Sleep sleep, happy sleep,
While o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babe in thy face,
Holy image I can trace.
Sweet babe once like thee,
Thy maker lay and wept for me
Wept for me for thee for all,
When he was an infant small.
Thou his image ever see.
Heavenly face that smiles on thee.
Smiles on thee on me on all,
Who became an infant small,
Infant smiles are his own smiles,
Heaven & earth to peace beguiles.

Lullaby for Luna

(Begin and end with current season)
Sleep my child, it’s spring again,
The air is fresh with gently falling rain
The earth is stirring, hear the sound
Of Nature pushing up through the ground
So sleep, my child, while falling rain
Tells us that it’s spring again.
Sleep, my child, this summer eve,
While young leaves lightly flutter in the breeze,
And birds fly off to where they go
When the sun is low and the summer winds blow.
So sleep, my child, this summer eve
While warm winds gently flutter through the leaves
Sleep, my child, while autumn air
Blows through trees, stark and bare
The summer leaves are yellow and brown,
It’s time for the fields to lie down on the ground
And go to sleep while autumn air
Blows through trees just standing there.
Sleep, my child, this winter night.
The sky is dark, but the ground is white,
The fire inside, burning bright
Will keep you warm all through the night
So sleep, my child, this winter night
Sleep until the morning light.

Dance on the Moon
03:30

Rise little Luna and join the dance
The world is ready to put on a show
The plants and animals wait for their chance
To teach you all of the things you should know.
Mama and Papa will teach you this tune
So you can dance all night under the moon.
The rooster will teach you to walk with style
The chickens will teach you to hunt for bugs
The cat will teach you to sleep for awhile
The dog will teach you to give licks and hugs
Papa will teach you to build your own room
Mama will teach you to dance on the moon.
The bees will give you their precious honey
The mice will give treasures from their nest
The trees will give shade when it’s hot and sunny
The grass will give you a place to rest
Papa will take you camping in June
Mama will teach you to dance on the moon.
The otters will teach you to play all day
The beavers will teach you to swim at night
The squirrels will teach you to chatter away
And jump from limb to limb without fright
Papa will teach you to fish the lagoon
Mama will teach you to dance on the moon.
The bears will teach you to find the berries
The birds will teach you to sing their songs
The frogs will show you the way to the fairies
Where You’ll be invited to sing this song
Papa will teach you to howl like a loon
Mama will teach you to dance on the moon.
The garden will teach you to grow up strong
As round as a cabbage, as tall as the corn
As pungent as garlic that grows all along
The path by the berry patch where you were born.
Papa will teach you to draw the moon
With Mama and you dancing to this tune.
