Sleep on ... little darling

Sleep on ... little darling,
with love placed your heart so deep
with placid eyes n sober smile
thoughts into dreams, ready to seep

Sleep on ... little darling,
a sight to behold n cherish
Slightly parted lips, pearls betwixt
will stay with me till I perish

Sleep on ... little darling,
carefree, happy, without fear
dreams not nightmares
may cajole you till I am here

Sleep on ... little darling,
tired as you are n will be
for its not a small task
to stand and understand me

Sleep on ... little darling,
with you I am madly in love,
Would never disturb your thoughts,
I promise the heaven above.

Sleep on ... little darling
my needs are little and few
hold me in your dreams,
is all I ask of you.
