• Walk now, softly now,
    So that the steps that fall
    Make no sound at all.
    She sleeps, don't wake her.
    She needs all the rest now,
    She can have.
    But watch her now, quietly now,
    And see her small shape
    In the small light
    Of this small room.
    And kiss her now, sweetly now,
    But don't let her know
    You are near.
    For to her, you are gone
    And will never return to her again.
