Canadian Original Song: "Winter Lullaby"

An original song of mine inspired by thoughts of pioneers in prairie Saskatchewan.

Winter Lullaby by Kay Clarity

A warm little cottage in the wide, stretching white
Hold a babe and a mother in the thickness of night
Mama holds her little one safe
And every night she sings

Winter's long, my dear
The snows just pile & pile
Winter's long, my dear
So sleep & sleep a while

The sun creeps up at half past eight
And won't stay long past four
At the close of each, short solemn day
She holds her babe and sings

Winter's long, my dear
The snows just pile & pile
Winter's long, my dear
So sleep & sleep a while

The night wind whistles days gone by
Long-covered in the snows
All else, so still, waits patiently
For spring while Mama sings:

Winter's long, my dear
The snows just pile & pile
Winter's long, my dear
So sleep & sleep a while
