Lullaby, sweet lullaby, You our happiness supply; Fair your face, and sweet your ways, You, your mother's pride and praise. As the coral, rare and bright, In your life does father live; You, of all the dear delight, All around you pleasure give. All your ways, my pretty boy, Of your parents are the joy; You were born for good alone, Sunshine of the family! Wise, and kind to every one. Light of every kinsman's eye; Light of all who hither come, And the gladness of our home, Lullaby, sweet lullaby. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MUSIC by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH BIRTHDAY POEM FOR THOMAS HARDY by CECIL DAY LEWIS TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN TO HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON - LAWYER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
