WHAT doth the Moon so lily whiteA
Busily weave this summer nightA
'Silver ropes and diamond strandsB
For Baby's pink and dimpled handsB
Cords for her rosy palms to holdC
While she floats she fliesD
To Dreamland set with its shores of goldC
With its buds like stars shaken out of the skiesD
Where the trees have tongues and the flowers have lipsE
To coax to kissF
The velvet cheek of the Babe who slipsE
Thro' the Dream gate up to a land like this 'G
-
What is the mild Sea whispering clearH
In the rosy shell of Baby's earI
See she laughs in her dimpled sleepJ
What does she hear from the shining deepJ
'Thy father comes a sailing a sailing a sailingK
Safely comes a sailing from islands fair and farL
O Baby bid thy mother cease her tears and bitterM
wailingK
The sailor's wife's his only port his babe his beaconN
star '-
-
Softly the Wind doth blowO
What say its murmurs lowO
What doth it bringK
On the wide soft plume of its dewy wingK
'Only scented blissesE
Of innocent sweet kissesE
For such a cheek as this isE
Of Baby in her nestP
From all the dreaming flowersE
A nodding in their bowersE
Or bright on leafy towersE
Where the fairy monarchs restP
But chiefly I bringK
On my fresh sweet mouthQ
Her father's kissE
As he sails from the southQ
He hitherward blew it at break of dayR
I lay it Babe on thy tender lipS
I'll steal another and hie awayR
And kiss it to him on his wave rocked shipS
-
'I saw a fairy twineT
Of star white jessamineU
A dainty seat shaped like an airy swingK
With two round yellow starsE
Against the misty barsE
Of night she nailed it highV
In the pansy purple skyV
With four taps of her little rainbow wingK
To and froO
That swing I'll blowO
'The baby moon in the amethyst skyV
Will laugh at us as we float and flyV
And stretch her silver arms and tryV
To catch the earth babe swinging by '-
