Dream me a Child that's Mine

Through the sorrowful eyes that sleep,

Dream me a child that's mine alone.

As I start my slumber's sleep,

A very fairy visitation called on my dreams

A chubby cheek of ruby smiles appears

To set my trembling heart afire,

And stir my barren womb to tears,

But not to shed an egg that's gone.

For when I close my eyes to sleep,

I always dream of a child that's mine.
