Weave me a blanket
of moonlight and mist,
of sea-fret and sunbeams,
to wrap me and rock me
and soothe me to sleep.
Fill me a pillow
with starlight and shadows,
with snowflakes and whispers,
to coze me and doze me.
Good night.
A little quadrille for an autumn evening. Merril is hosting at dVerse tonight, and our word is “blanket”.
Oh, like a beautiful lullaby. I love it.

It feels wrong reading this lovely night-time quadrille first thing in the morning, Sarah! It has that magical lullaby lyricality. I love the blanket of ‘moonlight and mist, / of sea-fret and sunbeams’, the sibilance of ‘snowflakes and whispers’, and the internal rhyme in ‘coze me and doze me’.
