LULLABY, by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND Poet's Biography First Line: Rockaby, lullaby, bees in the clover Last Line: Into the lily world gone. | |||
ROCKABY, lullaby, bees in the clover! Crooning so drowsily, crying so low, Rockaby, lullaby, dear little rover! Down into wonderland, Down to the under-land, Go, now go! Down into wonderland go. Rockaby, lullaby, rain on the clover, (Tears on the eyelids that waver and weep!) Rockaby, lullaby -- bending it over! Down on the mother-world, Down on the other world, Sleep, oh sleep! Down on the mother-world sleep. Rockaby, lullaby, dew on the clove, Dew on the eyes that will sparkle at dawn! Rockaby, lullaby, dear little rover! Into the stilly world, Into the lily world, Gone! now gone! Into the lily world gone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BITTER-SWEET: CRADLE SONG [OR, BABYHOOD] by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND THE NEED FOR MEN by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND WHERE SHALL THE BABY'S DIMPLE BE? by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND AN INVOCATION TO SLEEP by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND BITTER-SWEET: IN THE CELLAR by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND BITTER-SWEET: THE COST OF WORTH by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND DANIEL GRAY by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND GIVE US MEN by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND ON THE RIGHI by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND THE OLD CLOCK OF PRAGUE by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND |
