A cloud of eiderdown

Draws around me

Softening a sound

Sleepy time, and I lie

And the candle dies

When night comes down, you lock the door

The book falls to the floor

As darkness falls and waves roll by

The seasons change, the wind is warm

Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan

Behold a dream, the dream is gone

Green fields, a cold rain is falling

In a golden dawn

And deep beneath the ground

The early morning sounds

And I go down

Sleepy time, when I lie

And I rise, like a bird

In the haze, when the first rays

Touch the sky

And the night winds die
