Another new art song

I just added a new song, Going to Sleep, to my web site. It's repetitive and strophic, but the accompaniment is rhythmically ambiguous in a way that keeps it interesting, I think. The singing range is not wide, and it should be easy to sing, if you can count.

The song is all about looking at your newborn baby and realizing what an immense undertaking a life is, and how delicate.

As I say in the score, the accompaniment should be rather mechanical, but the voice should be expressive.
