Haibane Lullabye

Wings folded, world dark
Stars the path to Heaven mark
Hush now, Young One, do not cry
At the dimming of the sky
Nor be distressed, nor take affright
At the coming of the night
The gentle shining of the moon
Recalls that dawn is coming soon
Take comfort in its silver strands
And dream your dreams of far-off lands
Feathers warm, take wing and fly
Above the clouds, beyond the sky
Across the Walls and far away
To the dawning of the day
Hush now, child, all is right--
Good night, Young One, sleep tight.
