Classic and Contemporary Poetry
A LULLABY, by THOMALLY HOLBECH ANDERSON First Line: One little kiss ere thine eyelids close Last Line: Sleep, babykin, sleep. | |||
One little kiss ere thine eyelids close, Sleep, Little One, sleep. Leaves are a-sighing, the night wind blows, Dreamland has summer and many a rose, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. We shall go sailing when winds are low -- Sleep, Little One, sleep. Softly we rock in the twilight glow, Drift into harbor where dream ships go, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. Stars shall keep watch while our ship sails by, Sleep, Little One, sleep. Closer and closer the islands lie, Angels are crooning a soft lullaby, Sleep, Babykin, sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE SHADE OF PO CHU-I by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS JIM, WHO RAN AWAY FROM HIS NURSE, AND WAS EATEN BY A LION by HILAIRE BELLOC UNWELCOME by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE HYMN TO MONT BLANC [IN THE VALE OF CHAMOUNI] by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE NOW AND AFTERWARDS by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK THE COMING OF SPRING by NORA PERRY |
