Sleep my child
I have to leave soon
Sleep peaceful
Dream of the moon
I pat your tiny head
As you lay in your little bed
Painful weeps arrive at sun
For now just sleep and dream of none
The music box has broken
And these words are last spoken
Depressed thoughts
Of loose ends not tied
Don't think of them
Or tears you've cried
When you awake be happy
And smile at the sun
You've got growing up to do
You're life's just begun
I now sing to your unaware ears
The lullaby I sang to you all these years
Though this last song renders me in tears
I now must confront my biggest fears
Leaving you
Deceiving you
"Sleep well" I sing in soft song
I know you'll grow up to be strong
Though I might regret it until I die
I sing you our last silent lullaby

I think you know the main point of what this poem is about, but just in case not, I'll give you a vague description.
It's a mother saying goodbye to her sleeping child in the dead of night (for unknown reasons), the child is unaware of any of this happening, and continues to sleep...
