THE WARM CRADLE, by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA Poet's Biography First Line: Hush, baby, hush Last Line: Dream, baby, dream. Subject(s): Mothers; Babies; Sleep; Infants | |||
Hush, baby, hush, Sweet robin's in the bush-- All the birdies lie so quiet, Won't my little dicky try it? Hush, baby, hush. Sleep, baby, sleep, The lammies love the sheep-- Woolly babes all nestle cozy, Lie, my lambkin, warm and rosy, Sleep, baby, sleep. Dream, baby, dream, Our feet are in the stream-- Stones below but stars above, child, Life is warm so long we love, child, Dream, baby, dream. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POET TO HIS BABY SON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BABYHOOD by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN INFANCY by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG BALLAD OF THE LAYETTE by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM A TOAST FOR LITTLE IRON MIKE by PAUL MARIANI THE PAMPERING OF LEORA by THYLIAS MOSS ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS IN THE THRIVING SEASON by LISEL MUELLER A BLESSING FOR THE BLESSED by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA |
