A WELSH LULLABY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sleep, sleep, sleep
Last Line: Sleeping, ah, sleeping.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ceiriog


Sleep, sleep, sleep!
All nature now is steeping
Her sons in sleep,--their eyelids close,
All living things in sweet repose
Are sleeping, sleeping.

Sleep, baby, sleep!
Peace o'er thee watch be keeping,
If from my bosom thou art torn,
Low in the grave I'll lie forlorn,
Sleeping, ah, sleeping.
