LULLABY, by MABEL A. CARPENTER First Line: Breezes in the tree-tops high Last Line: Lulla-lullaby. | |||
BREEZES in the tree-tops high, Sighing softly as you blow, Sing a restful lullaby; Sing the sweetest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. Barley heads and crested wheat, Swaying gently to and fro, Sing the music of the heat, Sing the drowsiest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. Brooklet hidden in the grass, Murmuring faintly as you flow, Sing a sleep song while you pass; Sing the dreamiest song you know, Something slow, something low, -- Lulla-lullaby. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE OLD STOIC by EMILY JANE BRONTE THE VALLEY BROOK by JOHN HOWARD BRYANT MY LITTLE GIRL by SAMUEL MINTURN PECK RAIN by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS |
