rest here

rest here, 

you tell the child

come home

from

being young

now growing old.

rest here

and tell me what's right,

what's wrong,

what  path you're on.

rest here

and let us talk 

until the sun has gone

until  the moon appears.

rest here,

we'll eat, we'll drink,

we'll talk some more.

then we'll go up to our beds

and sleep,

we'll sleep until sleep

awakens us, and then

we'll carry on.
