Question

Sleep, sleep, my treasure,
Has tired the birds, to their nests they creep;
The long day's pleasure
Alight with lilies,
But all the daisies are fast asleep.
The garden still is
Sleep, sleep, my darling,
Dawn wakes the starling,
The sparrow stirs when he sees day break;
But all the meadow
Is wrapped in shadow,
And you must sleep till the daisies wake!
- E. Nesbit
