Maybe – maybe, you should get some sleep. Well then, I will ask the owls not to cough, The frogs not to croak, and the bats not to fly off. I will not let the sunlight reach your eyelids; I will not let the breeze brush your eyebrows. No one will wake you from your sweet dreams; I will plant a pine – an umbrella shield – for you to sleep underneath. Maybe, you will like the sound of worms churning the soil, Or that of grass-roots softly taking in water. Maybe, this music you hear is more beautiful Than the quarrels and curses of man’s world. Well then, shut both of your eyes tight: And I shall let you sleep – I shall let you sleep I will lightly cover you with earth, And let the banknotes of the underworld fly slowly.
