I didn't write this song, though I did set it to a melody and arrange it.
The lyrics are public domain and they are by Christina G Rossetti
What can lambkins do
All the keen night through?
Nestle by their woolly mother
The careful ewe.
What can nestlings do
In the nightly dew?
Sleep beneath their mother's wing
Till day breaks anew.
If in a field or tree
There might only be
Such a warm soft sleeping-place
Found for me!
Christina Georgina Rossetti (5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894)
