第02期:摇篮曲 Rock Me To Sleep

Backward, turn backward, Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight!

Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore;

Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;

Over my slumbers your loving watch keep; - Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!

Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years!

I am so weary of toil and of tears, - Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,

Take them, and give me my childhood again!

I have grown weary of dust and decay, - Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away; Weary of sowing for others to reap;

Rock me to sleep, motherrock me to sleep!

Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!
