"Principles" Lullaby...
Andromeda's lullaby, a continuing thread in "Principles", now has a tune and complete lyrics. The tune is that of Vienna Teng's "Shine" (listen to a YouTube video of the original piece here); I wrote my own lyrics to fit.
Andromeda’s Lullaby
Moon-glow lights the sky,
Night songs play soft and low.
Mother’s lullaby,
And cricket’s bow…
Tow of summer wind,
And call of guiding star:
Listen and begin
To find out who you are.
Sleep, my darling, my joy:
Know that vigil I’ll ever keep.
Sleep now, my precious boy.
Oh, my bright one, hush and sleep.
Love’s unfailing light
Will guard you on your way:
Adamantine, bright
As the sun’s ray…
Grow up safe and strong
And wise, and find your place;
Every note, your song
Is blessed and full of grace…
Sleep, my darling, my joy:
Know that vigil I’ll ever keep.
Sleep now, my precious boy.
Oh, my bright one, hush…
Sleep, my darling, my joy:
Know that vigil I’ll ever keep.
Sleep now, my precious boy.
Oh, my bright one, hush and sleep…
Oh, my bright one, hush and sleep.
Needless to say, feedback is very much appreciated.
