Home from the daisied meadows, where you linger yet''" Home, golden-headed playmate, ere the sun is set; For the dews are falling fast And the night has come at last. Home with you, home and lay your little head at rest, Safe, safe, my little darling, on your mother's breast. Lullaby, darling; your mother is watching you; she'll be your guardian and shield. Lullaby, slumber, my darling, till morning be bright upon mountain and field. Long, long the shadows fall. All white and smooth at home your little bed is laid. All round your head be angels. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CAVE PAINTING by HAYDEN CARRUTH A CELEBRATION by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS BRONX, 1818 by JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE BELISARIUS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW FROM THE ANTIQUE (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI SOLITUDE by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX |
