"BY-BY, LULLABY", by ANONYMOUS First Line: "by-by, lullaby, by-by, lullaby, / rocked I my child" Last Line: Rocked I my child | |||
By-by, lullaby, by-by, lullaby, Rocked I my child; By-by, by-by, by-by, lullaby, Rocked I my child. In a dream late as I lay, Methought I heard a maiden say And speak these words [so] mild: "My little son, with Thee I play, And come," she sang, "by, lullaby." Thus rocked she her child. By-by, lullaby, by-by, lullaby, Rocked I my child; By-by. Then marvelled I right sore of this: A maid to have a child ywis. "By-by, lullaby." Thus rocked she her child. By-by, lullaby, by-by, lullaby, Rocked I my child; By-by, by-by, by-by, lullaby, Rocked I my child. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
