LULLABY by WITTER BYNNER

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'LL SEND YOU NOW SAILING ACROSS THE SEA ...'
Last Line: "TO ME."

"I'll send you now sailing across the sea,
I'll send you now sailing away--
Out where the fishes love to be,
Out where the gulls
Are at play.
"But soon you'll come sailing from far away,
Come sailing from over the sea--
Back where my baby loves to stay,
Back again home
To me."
