A Little Lovely Dream Composed by Edie Hill Text by Sarojini Naidu Quintet: Regina Stroncek, Emerald Barbour, Kartik Ayysola, Grant Yosenick, John Moorman From groves of spice, O'er fields of rice, Athwart the lotus stream, I bring for you, Aglint with dew, A little lovely dream. Sweet, shut your eyes, The wild fireflies Dance through the fairy neem; from the poppybole For you I stole A little lovely dream. Dear eyes, good night, In golden light The stars around you gleam; On you I press With soft caress A little lovely dream.
