Muse of Calliope

Nocturne, a Lullaby

To the tune of Nocturne op. 4 no. 2 by Johann Kaspar Mertz

 

\"A\" section

In the meadow, in the night-time

Hear the breeze flow

Right through the wind-chime

Even sorrow has no place here;

Cast all your cares away, don\'t fear.

 

\"A\" section repeated

You are safe here, you are loved, dear

I will keep you

Safe if you stay near

I will never let you suffer;

Every tear from you brings hurt.

 

\"B\" section

So even in, the darkest night of nights,

when you are in the valley of the shadow of death

just don\'t fear, no, I\'ll hold you tight,

don\'t let go, just, have some faith and I\'ll make things right.

 

\"B\" section repeated

Because even in, the darkest night of nights,

when you are in the valley of the shadow of death

just don\'t fear, no, I\'ll hold you tight

keep you safe from, all that hides deep in shadowed night

 

\"C\" section- no words, just instrumental
