EVENING SONG, by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD Poet's Biography First Line: Little child, good child, go to sleep Last Line: Hush, child, little child! Hush.--good-night. Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Fannie Stearns | |||
Little child, good child, go to sleep. The tree-toads purr and the peepers peep; Under the apple-tree grass grows deep; Little child, good child, go to sleep! Big star out in the orange west; Orioles swung in their gypsy nest; Soft wind singing what you love best; Rest till the sunrise; rest, child, rest! Swift dreams swarm in a silver flight. Hand in hand with the sleepy Night Lie down soft with your eyelids tight. Hush, child, little child! Hush.--Good-night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN OLD SONG by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD ANCIENT BEAUTIFUL THINGS by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD CRACK O' DAWN by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD DAWN-JOY by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD ESCAPE by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD FIRE FANTASY by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD GHOSTS by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD HOME by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD HOOFS IN THE DARK by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD O MY LOVE LEONORE by FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS GIFFORD |
