Lyrics to new song, "Dawning Lullaby"

I

Storms will sunder castles broad, kings will falter in their pride,
all will beg along the road that greed has cut through mountains wide.
The only crown there is to wear, come the days of cold and rain,
is what you shape of love and care, a fragile lovegold daisy chain.

Fathers toy with stolen ground their sons and daughters will devour.
Wind will beat their brows, around their lonely deathward hour.
How they’ll blame the sun and stars, for the follies of their lives,
though the earth is cut with scars, from their walls of sticks and knives.

Hush now, darling, don’t you cry,
dream new light beyond your eye.


II

There‘s a field, no columbine will grow for man’s ingratitude.
There’s a field, no fennel fine meets man’s devices, cheap and crude.
There’s a field beyond the night, only carefree lovers find,
making one in aimless flight, finding God in gainless mind.

Here’s a wood the starling knows, where the goldcrest flocks a-plenty.
Here’s a sky the barn owl sews a life of cycles, ten-a-twenty.
Here’s a sound beyond the night, only gentle lovers know,
Making song in dawning light, by the gilded river flow.

Hush now, darling, don’t you cry,
dream new light beyond your eye.


III

Drifting willows trail the stream, yellow dawn rays start to blaze.
Sleeping meadow vales in dream, near their golden dazing phase.
Maying lovers love again, rolling open gowns of green,
lying where old souls have lain, at loving’s lifting of the screen.

Lips that kiss and eyes that glaze, move the rhythms of the wind.
Blood that glows in gentle face, mirrors sun like river kind.
Hands that reach to touch this light, are lighted dust of scattered sun.
Souls will twine before the night of ancient summer stars is done.

Hush now, darling, don’t you cry,
Dream new light beyond your eye.

I've recorded the music, only wrote the lyrics today and have yet to record the vocals to the backing. I'll say, when I've done a take and it's up, on the usual spot.
