SPANISH FOLK LULLABY, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "slumber, slumber, darling, the old mocking-bird is singing" Last Line: "sewing a cloak for our dear lord, her son" | |||
Slumber, slumber, darling, the old mocking-bird is singing: Hicho, chimicho, hicho, chimicho; tuma coro, tuma coro, bimbambom! The moon shines bright, and the snake darts swift and light; I see five baby bullocks, and a calf, young and white. The moon was a-chewing a mellow Indian fig; The sun was gobbling a cabbage big. And out in the hallway the Virgin sits alone, Sewing a cloak for our dear Lord, her son. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
