CAROL, by JOHN BRACKLEY First Line: I saw a sweet and seemly sight Last Line: "my bairn, sleep softly now." | |||
I saw a sweet and seemly sight, A blissful maid, blossom bright, That moaning made and mirth of mange, A maiden mother, meek and mild, In cradle keep a knave child That softly slept; she sat and sang, "Lullay, lullow, lully, lullay, lully, lully, lully, lully, lully, Lullow, lully, lullay, baw, baw, My Bairn, sleep softly now." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HIPPOLYTUS TEMPORIZES by HILDA DOOLITTLE THE AIM WAS SONG by ROBERT FROST THE CRADLE SONG OF THE POOR by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER SAGE COUNSEL by ARTHUR THOMAS QUILLER-COUCH THE GREAT FIGURE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
