Rock Me to Sleep Mother by Elizabeth Akers Allen - 1883 - Signed deals by Author - Illustrated Antique Poetry Book

"Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
Make me a child again just for tonight!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;—
Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!"
