Lay to Sleep

 

-------Lay to Sleep-------

 

Soon 

the snow 

is going to come

 

And lay to sleep 

the garden

 

A blanket 

upon 

the resting child

 

Of all that we 

have planted

 

Every seed 

and sprout,

root and tree

 

Nothing more

now we can do

 

But hold 

their light 

til Spring.
