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...THE PILGRIM FATHERS by JOHN PIERPONT CIVIL WAR by CHARLES DAWSON SHANLY VISIONS OF THE WORLDS VANITIE by EDMUND SPENSER A CHRISTMAS HYMN by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER PRAYER AFTER YOUTH by MAXWELL ANDERSON DUSK; TO MADEMOISELLE MARIE LAURENCIN by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE THE WANDERING JEW by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 32.
