LULLABY (1), by THOMAS STURGE MOORE Poet's Biography First Line: Laugh, laugh / laugh gently though Last Line: And they visit the gardens of fabulous kings. Alternate Author Name(s): Moore, T. Sturge | ||||||||
Laugh, laugh, Laugh gently through, For leaves do so, When the great boughs, to and fro, Cradle the birds on the tops of the trees; Gently they laugh for the love of these. Sleep, sleep, Sleep lightly through, For birds do so, Rocked by great boughs to and fro; With wind in their feathers, their dreams have wings And they visit the gardens of fabulous kings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SILENCE SINGS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THE DYING SWAN by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THESEUS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE A MIDNIGHT ECSTASY by THOMAS STURGE MOORE A TORRENT: 2 by THOMAS STURGE MOORE ALCESTIS IS SPOKEN OF by THOMAS STURGE MOORE ALCESTIS SPEAKS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE AN OLD SNATCH DREAMED OVER by THOMAS STURGE MOORE BEFORE REREADING SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE |
