Lullaby, sweet lullaby, You our happiness supply; Fair your face, and sweet your ways, You, your mother's pride and praise. As the coral, rare and bright, In your life does father live; You, of all the dear delight, All around you pleasure give. All your ways, my pretty boy, Of your parents are the joy; You were born for good alone, Sunshine of the family! Wise, and kind to every one. Light of every kinsman's eye; Light of all who hither come, And the gladness of our home, Lullaby, sweet lullaby. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GREEK SONG: 1.
