LULLABY, by                    
First Line: Breezes in the tree-tops high
Last Line: Lulla-lullaby.


BREEZES in the tree-tops high,
Sighing softly as you blow,
Sing a restful lullaby;
Sing the sweetest song you know,
Something slow, something low, --
Lulla-lullaby.

Barley heads and crested wheat,
Swaying gently to and fro,
Sing the music of the heat,
Sing the drowsiest song you know,
Something slow, something low, --
Lulla-lullaby.

Brooklet hidden in the grass,
Murmuring faintly as you flow,
Sing a sleep song while you pass;
Sing the dreamiest song you know,
Something slow, something low, --
Lulla-lullaby.
