Dakota Lullaby
Sheet music for harp and voice
Sleep and rest on my
breast,
Little love and my
treasure,
Safe and warm in my
arms:
Love is too great to
measure.
A new lullaby written in the midst of a North Dakota
January – the classic words and melody would be equally suitable sung by a mother
in modern times, a pioneer mother on the prairie, or a Norse or Celtic
mother in Viking times.
As she lulls her child to sleep, aware of the immense
cold outside, the mother muses on the transient nature of peace and the
need to cherish the beautiful moments in our lives:
Sunset’s glow, stars and snow:
God surrounds us with beauty.
Why must we chiefly see
Fear and want and duty?
The sheet music is 8½" x 11", 4 pages,
printed in black on ivory paper, and includes words, melody for voice,
chord symbols, and arrangement for lever or pedal harp (like most harp music, it can also be played on the piano). Level: easy to intermediate;
in the key of C with no accidentals. $3.00.
