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...A VALEDICTION: OF MY NAME IN THE WINDOW by JOHN DONNE RELIGION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR MISS KILMANSEGG AND HER PRECIOUS LEG: HER BIRTH by THOMAS HOOD JOY OF THE MORNING by EDWIN MARKHAM TO MADAME DE SEVIGNE by MATHIEU DE MONTREUIL THE NEW YEAR by ALFRED TENNYSON THE PRINCESS: SONG by ALFRED TENNYSON SONNET WRITTEN IN THE FALL OF 1914: 3 by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY |
