by Arnold Edward Trevor Bax, Sir (1883 - 1953), as Sheila McCarthy
Still my baby, hush my darling
Language: English
Still my baby, hush my darling, Golden stars drift all about your bed; And while the soft grey veils of sleep Over your little helpless body creep Mine arms shall fold you Close, and hold you Bathed in the dews of the spirit's fountain head. From your sleepy world of dreams and stars Stretch out your tiny hands rememb'ring me. Through pallid mists and memories My sweet dead stars fall in the sighing seas. You have I only, I that am lonely, O give me love as I give love to thee!
