LULLABY, by MABEL A. CARPENTER First Line: Breezes in the tree-tops high Last Line: Lulla-lullaby. | |||
BREEZES in the tree-tops high, Sighing softly as you blow, Sing a restful lullaby; Sing the sweetest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. Barley heads and crested wheat, Swaying gently to and fro, Sing the music of the heat, Sing the drowsiest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. Brooklet hidden in the grass, Murmuring faintly as you flow, Sing a sleep song while you pass; Sing the dreamiest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 25 by THOMAS CAMPION MADAGASCAR: AUBADE by WILLIAM DAVENANT CHRISTMAS TREES; A CHRISTMAS CIRCULAR LETTER by ROBERT FROST THE FOOL'S PRAYER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL THE ROSE AND THE GAUNTLET by JOHN STERLING (1806-1844) UNCLE AN' AUNT by WILLIAM BARNES OVERTONES by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN |
