A LULLABY, by THOMALLY HOLBECH ANDERSON First Line: One little kiss ere thine eyelids close Last Line: Sleep, babykin, sleep. | |||
One little kiss ere thine eyelids close, Sleep, Little One, sleep. Leaves are a-sighing, the night wind blows, Dreamland has summer and many a rose, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. We shall go sailing when winds are low -- Sleep, Little One, sleep. Softly we rock in the twilight glow, Drift into harbor where dream ships go, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. Stars shall keep watch while our ship sails by, Sleep, Little One, sleep. Closer and closer the islands lie, Angels are crooning a soft lullaby, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET TO TARTAR, A TERRIER BEAUTY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES A CHILD'S PET by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE BATTLE OF THE KEGS by FRANCIS HOPKINSON LATE LEAVES by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE DAY IS DONE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
