A Cradle Song - Experience By [William Blake], 1793\\ ~~One of the [Songs of Experience]~~ Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,\\ Dreaming in the joys of night;\\ Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep\\ Little sorrows sit and weep.\\ \\ Sweet babe, in thy face\\ Soft desires I can trace,\\ Secret joys and secret smiles,\\ Little pretty infant wiles.\\ \\ As thy softest limbs I feel,\\ Smiles as of the morning steal\\ O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast\\ Where thy little heart doth rest.\\ \\ O the cunning wiles that creep\\ In thy little heart asleep!\\ When thy little heart doth wake,\\ Then the dreadful light shall break.\\ 2005-03-09 10:00:13.0 2005-03-09 10:00:13.0
