HUSH, sweet babe
don't say a word.
Mother is going to buy you a mocking bird.
If that mocking bird will not sing...
I will pluck out all of its feathers
and tear off his wings....

HUSH,sweet babe...
Mother is going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring doesn't shine,
Mother is going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass should crack
I will bleed the seller and brake his back.

HUSH, sweet babe.
Mother is going to buy you a horse to ride.
If the horse does not be true and nay
I will slice his belly open wide and stuff him with hay.

HUSH, swett babe...

(unfinished as of yet)


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...

Sounds finished to me!    I can tell you that if you sang that to me when I was a little girl, I would have been creeped out!  Talk about demented, but you wrote it very well.  Very creative!

Take care,

Lullaby for dark children perhaps?  I like the twist to the old lullaby, good work

 Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
