"SLEEP, BABY DEAR", by ANONYMOUS First Line: All is still and restful now Last Line: Though the spring is all about? | |||
All is still and restful now, So, my darling, slumber thou! Only sighs the wind anear, Lullaby, sleep, baby dear. Softly close each azure eye, Like twin Maybuds let them lie; And when morning shines anew, They, like flowers, shall open, too. Thus while flowers like thee I greet, Softly kissing eyelids sweet, Why need mother look without, Though the spring is all about? | 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 |
