• Sleep, little pigeon, and fold your wings,—
      Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes;
    Sleep to the singing of mother-bird swinging—
      Swinging the nest where her little one lies.

    Away out yonder I see a star,—
      Silvery star with a tinkling song;
    To the soft dew falling I hear it calling—
      Calling and tinkling the night along.
