  I
  Sleep, little eyes
  That brim with childish tears amid thy play,
  Be comforted! No grief of night can weigh
  Against the joys that throng thy coming day.
  Sleep, little heart!
  There is no place in Slumberland for tears:
  Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears
  And sorrows that will dim the after years.
  Sleep, little heart!
  
  
  II
  
  Ah, little eyes
  Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago,
  That life's storm crushed and left to lie below
  The benediction of the falling snow!
  
  Sleep, little heart
  That ceased so long ago its frantic beat!
  The years that come and go with silent feet
  Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet.
  Sleep, little heart.
