Backward, flow backward, O full tide of years! I am so weary of toil and of tears, Toil without recompense--tears all in vain, Take them and give me my childhood again. I have grown weary of dust and decay, Weary of sowing for others to reap; Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep. - Rock me to Sleep, Mother, also attributed to Elizabeth Akers Allen, see "Northern Monthly", vol. II, 1868 [Time] Backward, turn backward, then time in your flight; Make me a child again just for tonight. Mother, come back from the echoeless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore. - Rock me to Sleep, Mother [Time]
