Now sleep, my baby, sweetly sleep, Come shut your eyelids to! Our Father God, in Heaven above, Will keep guard o'er you. He sends His angels down to stand Above your cradle near; Then, baby, shut your eyes in peace, God's eyes are open, dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ILLUSIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM by AMY LOWELL TWO POEMS FROM THE WAR: 1 by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH SLEEPING TOGETHER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DOMESDAY BOOK: JOHN SCOFIELD by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
