Home from the daisied meadows, where you linger yet''" Home, golden-headed playmate, ere the sun is set; For the dews are falling fast And the night has come at last. Home with you, home and lay your little head at rest, Safe, safe, my little darling, on your mother's breast. Lullaby, darling; your mother is watching you; she'll be your guardian and shield. Lullaby, slumber, my darling, till morning be bright upon mountain and field. Long, long the shadows fall. All white and smooth at home your little bed is laid. All round your head be angels. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE COTTER'S SATURDAY NIGHT by ROBERT BURNS STANZAS TO A LADY, WITH THE POEMS OF CAMOENS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON SONG by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE EPITAPH: FOR A LADY I KNOW by COUNTEE CULLEN THE SEA AND THE SKYLARK by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS |
