Hush! Don't wake them up
Get up softly for if you stir
They stir with you in tandem
Natal bonds of baby hearts
Tip toe out of the room of love
Soft innocent in cuddly covers
Outside relieve your railroad heart
Trip over some ugly wires
Tip toe trip toe kitchen light
Get yourself water to drink
Heart flowers wail in darkest dawn
Hardly allows you pause to think.
Tip tip trip toe back to the room
Soft survey the bed of doom
Behold the babies and hold your heart
Cut off threads spun from its vital loom.
Trip is over turn back to bed
Hold up shame and drop your head
Review the night with cruel dread
And remember softest spun silk threads.
