Last golden rays reach through heart-shaped leaves
they sway, moved by evening's breeze
their sweet whisper make believe
the fairies lullaby
with each closing eye
calms How and Why
Tonight I
will dream
sweet
My Little Sweet Darling
An anonymous Tudor lullaby (sometimes attributed to William Byrd.)
The song is found in multiple sources, and may originally have been sung in “A tragedy called Oedipus,” an Elizabethan translation of a Latin play by Seneca.
