Bawloo, my bonnie baby, bawlililu, Light be thy care and cumber; Bawloo, my bonnie baby, bawlililu, Oh, sweet be thy sinless slumber. Ere thou wert born my youthful heart Yearned o'er my babe with sorrow; Long is the night-noon that we must part, But bright shall arise the morrow. Bawloo, my bonnie baby, bawlililu, Here no more will I see thee; Bawloo, my bonnie baby, bawlililu, Oh, sair is my heart to lea' thee. But far within you sky so blue, In love that fail shall never, In valleys beyond the land of the dew, I'll sing to my baby for ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FANCY FROM FONTENELLE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE ARAB TO HIS FAVORITE STEED by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON MUIOPOTMOS, OR THE FATE OF THE BUTTERFLIE by EDMUND SPENSER TRUTH AND SORROW by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY TWELVE SONNETS: 1.
