Hommage a Lauro
Sleep little tulip the night has come
You need your rest before morning sun
Close up your pistil, fold in your leaves
Tuck all your petals into their sleeves
And while you're asleep I'll be here close by
I'll whisper my love in the breath of a sigh
For my love is silent, none know how I long
I keep to myself, save for poem and song
And if the day comes when no more I can say
I'll still love you tulip, just from far away
