LAURA INGALLS WILDER

Uma pequena cidade da campina
Rock Me To Sleep
(Words by Florence Percy, Music by William Martin, 1860)
Backward, turn backward,
Oh Time in thy 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!
