A Song to Wake Your Dear in the Morning
I kiss the locks of your hair:
Do you feel me there,
Sleepy one?
I will put a kiss on your brow:
Are you waking now?
Won't you wake, sleepy one?
A kiss on your left eye; on your right—
Closed tight, closed tight!
Oh, you are a hard one to wake!
A kiss on your nose
Where your deep breath goes,
Sleepy one!
Now a kiss for each ear:
Do you hear, do you hear?
Wake, sleepy one!
A kiss for this cheek; a kiss for this:
How many kisses you will miss!
Won't you wake? Won't you wake?
Now I come to your lips that I love:
Oh, you are waking! You wake and move!
Sleepy one!
Sleepy one,
My kisses are done.
Oh, you are a hard one to wake!
