Sleeping Beneath the Sky by Elizabeth Scott
The Dragon ate the moon in bites
While rocking you to sleep this night
Once asleep so contently
Baby breathes, sighing gently
Dreams of peaches, plums and pears
Are brought to you by dancing bears
Woven gold in blankets threads
Keep you warm from toe to head
From deepest night your sky turns violet
The waking dawn changing scarlet
As you find the gift of day
Now your Dragon flies away
Soon will end this perfect day
Time to eat and rest and pray
As night does fall, the Dragon then
Rocks you back to sleep again
