Analysis of Eva's Song
Hush, my child, time to sleep,
Hush, my child, don’t you weep.
I’m still here, my little love,
I’m still here, my sweetest dove.
Close your eyes now, pretty one,
Close your eyes now, with the sun.
Time to dream of running free,
Time to dream of you and me.
Morning will bring another day,
Morning will bring us time to play.
One last song before you sleep,
One last song, our joy to keep.
