MY sweet little darling, my comfort and joy, Sing lullaby, lully, In beauty excelling the Princes of Troy, Sing lullaby, lully. Now rest, child, and sleep, child, thy mother's sweet boy, Sing lullaby, lully, The gods bless and keep thee from cruel annoy, Sing lully, lully, lully, Sweet baby, lully, lully, sweet baby, lully, lully. Thy father, sweet infant, from mother is gone, Sing lullaby, lully, And she in the woods here with thee left alone, Sing lullaby, lully. To thee, little infant, why do I make moan? Sing lullaby, lully, Since thou canst not help me to sigh nor to groan, Sing lully, lully, lully, Sweet baby, lully, lully, sweet baby, lully, lully. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EMERGENCY HAYING by HAYDEN CARRUTH SPRING NOTES FROM ROBIN HILL by HAYDEN CARRUTH TO A MOTH SEEN IN WINTER by ROBERT FROST STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 3.
