BE HUSH'D, by THOMAS HASTINGS Poet's Biography First Line: Be hush'd, my dear Last Line: Their vigils near thee keep. | |||
Be hush'd, my dear, Thy mother's near, Thou need'st no longer weep; Soft melody She sings to thee, Now close thine eyes in sleep. Be hush'd, my dear, Dry every tear, In sweetest quiet keep; O weep not so O'er infant woe, But close thine eyes in sleep. Be hush'd, my dear, No thought of fear Should break thy slumbers deep; Angels above, With wings of love, Their vigils near thee keep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EXHORTATION by THOMAS HASTINGS SAVORING THE PAST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MAKING THE BED by KAREN SWENSON TWO WITCHES: 1.
