Just a Simple Little Tune

'Who caused gentle Mary to fret and weep?'

'Her window glows brightly
I fear that she cannot sleep.'

Wishing that her heartbeat
Would cease its fearful pounding
Peered into the gloom
Silent as a tomb,
Not one distant drum sounding

As the owl said:
'Who caused such a stillness to mystify the earth-
And why?
See how she searches the darkened sky.
Who is there among us to sing her a lullaby?'

'Sing me a lullaby....'
