LULLABY, by ANONYMOUS First Line: When little birdie bye-bye goes Last Line: "lullaby! Lullaby! Lulla, lulla, lullaby!" | |||
When little birdie bye-bye goes, Quiet as mice in churches, He puts his head where no one knows, On one leg he perches. When little babie bye-bye goes, On mother's arm reposing, Soon he lies beneath the clothes, Safe in the cradle dozing. When pretty pussy goes to sleep, Tail and nose together, Then little mice around her creep, Lightly as a feather. When little babie goes to sleep, And he is very near us, Then on tiptoe softly creep, That babie may not hear us. Lullaby! Lullaby! Lulla, Lulla, Lullaby! | 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 |
