[u][b]Love Song 

[/u]My love, when we kissed it was night; who saw us?
The evening star saw us, the moon saw us,
And the moon bent down and told it to the sea;
The sea told it to the oar, and the oar told the sailor,
And the sailor sang it to the slender girl in the doorway.  
[b][u]
Lullaby

[/b][/u][b]Sleep, who takes the children, come and receive this child.[/b][b]
I gave him to you very small, bring him to me grown large,
Large like the high mountain, straight like the cypress tree,
And let his branches stretch to the East and to the West.
