sleep child,sleep and dream
let fairy dust close your eyes
the nights music plays
dance, as the sprites do
though the night be dark and fretful
mind not, and dance free.
for come the morns light
nights sparkling visions fade
your stardust friends sleep

Sweet and touching!
I can just see this as a book for little ones.
Beautiful words - love the term 'stardust friends'.
enjoyed your take on sleep and fairies here, thank you for your gracious comment on my blog....
"Though the night be dark and fretful
mind not, and dance free."
Really nice!!! These words right here say so much.
I love the last stanza (if I may call it that). There is the contrast of the fairies sleeping while she is awake. This is a wonderful lullaby.
My mother didn't, but on reading this I can almost hear her tell me about the fairy dust that will close my eyes.

Sorry, I was away right after posting this. I must thank you all for reading my poem and for your kind comments.
