Background
A description of the experience
From Traditional Nursery Rhymes [collected by Michael Foss]
With lullay. lullay, like a child
Thou sleep'st too long, thou art beguiled
My darling dear, my daisy flower
Let me, quoth me, lie in your lap
Lie still, quoth she, my paramour
Lie still hardly and take a nap
His head was heavy, such was his hap
All drowsy dreaming, drowned in sleep
That of his love he took no keep
With hey lullay, lullay, like a child
Thou sleep'st too long thou art beguiled
