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...TO CORINTH by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR FOR A DEAD LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TO ALEXIS IN ANSWER TO HIS POEM AGAINST FRUITION by APHRA BEHN THE IDEAL by ANNE CHARLOTTE LYNCH BOTTA NEW YEAR'S VERSES FOR THE CARRIER OF THE MIRROR, 1826 by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD GOD SAVE THE KING by HENRY CAREY (1687-1743) |
