Dear little blue-eyes, go to sleep! The twilight shadows are knee-deep; The sun gone down behind the town, And from the hilltop's silver crown A faint, far day-star seems to peep. The green lawn twinkles bright with dew, The treetops whisper low to you: "Sleep, little one; the day is done; Sleep till the rising of the sun!" Sleep, love, and close your eyes of blue. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I LOOKED FOR LIFE AND DID A SHADOW SEE by JAMES GALVIN THE SUICIDE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TO AN EARLY DAFFODIL; SONNET by AMY LOWELL AT SAGAMORE HILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: HENRY PHIPPS by EDGAR LEE MASTERS GENEVIEVE AND ALEXANDRA (2) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
