ARABIAN CRADLE SONG, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "sleep, my eye, sleep, sleep a slumber hale" Last Line: The lord of the heavens will his promise fulfil | |||
Sleep, my eye, sleep, sleep a slumber hale, Like pilgrims in the Meena vale; Sweetly rest till morning light, My little farmer boy so bright; Beauty mine supernal, Like sweet flowers vernal; Kept safe in the stronghold by God in the skies, Kept safe in the stronghold by God in the skies. Sleep, my eye, oh! sleep a slumber sweet! May sorrow ne'er thy eyesight meet; In thy cradle rest thy head, Soft in the little silken bed; Thy God will defend thee, Fortune may attend thee, The Lord of the heavens will His promise fulfil, The Lord of the heavens will His promise fulfil. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
