SWEDISH CRADLE SONG, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Light and rosy be thy slumbers Last Line: Hallow'd by affection's spell | |||
(Sung by Jenny Lind) Light and rosy be thy slumbers, Rock'd upon thy mother's breast, She can lull thee with her numbers, To the cradled heav'n of rest. In her heart is love revolving, Like the planets or the moon; Hopes and pleasures fondly solving, Keeping ev'ry thought in tune. When thy look her care inviteth, All the mother turns to thee, And her inmost life delighteth, Drinking from thy cup of glee. O'er thee now her spirit bendeth; Child of promise, cherish'd well! With thine own her being blendeth, Hallow'd by affection's spell. | 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 |
