about

The notoriety of the poem as a standard in children’s literature and its nocturnal ethos determined me to shape Drowsy Birdsninto a lullaby. The bucolic scenery of nature at dusk, which depicts the purity of the elemental world, untouched by the burdens that accompany mundane life could only be conveyed by a cradle song.

lyrics

Drowsy birds at even gliding,
Round about their nests alight,
In among the branches hiding...
Dear, good night!

Silence through the forest creeping,
Lullaby the river sighs;
In the garden flowers sleeping...
Shut your eyes!


Glides the swan among the rushes
To its rest where moonlight gleams,
And the angels whisper hushes...
Peaceful dreams!

O'er the sky stars without number,
On the earth a silver light;
All is harmony and slumber...
Dear, good night!
