Rock Me To Sleep
A toad pushes the tadpole away,
Mounts her sweetie on her back and sings:
I had known love before I knew my child-
Rock me to sleep.
I slip to my honey's side,
He slides his laps on mine
If it would become a baby so be it-
Rock me to sleep.
A cock rocks and rocks his hen,
Tilts to her again and quests:
Shall we rock more ?shall we rock more?
Rock me to sleep.
When I scream like bird in brood
Or I gasp as blacksmith's belows,
Mind me not I have no pain;
Just rock me to sleep.
