LULLABY, by FLORENCE EARLE COATES First Line: Day is stealing down the west Last Line: Smiles at baby in his sleep. | |||
Day is stealing down the West, Tender, drowsy sounds are heard; Closer now each downy bird Creeps 'neath mother-wings to rest. In the fading sky afar, Kindled by some angel hand, Twinkling comes a tiny star,-- Baby's guide to Sleepy-land. Cooler, darker grows the air, Eerie shadows haunt the room; In the garden, through the gloom, 'Wildering bats and owlets fare; But the lambs and birdies seem Happy now at home to keep, And a darling little dream Smiles at baby in his sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST THE GATE OF LIFE by FLORENCE EARLE COATES AN ADIEU by FLORENCE EARLE COATES BUFFALO by FLORENCE EARLE COATES BY THE CONEMAUGH by FLORENCE EARLE COATES CAPTAIN GUYNEMER by FLORENCE EARLE COATES COLUMBUS by FLORENCE EARLE COATES CRADLE SONG by FLORENCE EARLE COATES DEATH by FLORENCE EARLE COATES DREYFUS by FLORENCE EARLE COATES EDMUND CLARENCE STEADMAN by FLORENCE EARLE COATES HELEN KELLER WITH A ROSE by FLORENCE EARLE COATES IN WAR-TIME (AN AMERICAN HOMEWARD-BOUND) by FLORENCE EARLE COATES |
