A thousand waves Divine the sea she rocks I hear the loving seas And rock my son, my son Night fields of wheat The wandering wind rocks I hear the loving winds And rock my son, my son His thousands worlds Silent God Father rocks I feel His hand in shades And rock my son, my son.

A Mother Joins Cosmic Rhythms

Waves, wind, and God are imagined as rocking the world, making the speaker's intimate act part of a protective, universal pattern. Its repeated return to the son expresses tenderness, while the final stanza gives the lullaby a spiritual sense of trust amid the darkness.
