MY sweet little darling, my comfort and joy, Sing lullaby, lully, In beauty excelling the Princes of Troy, Sing lullaby, lully. Now rest, child, and sleep, child, thy mother's sweet boy, Sing lullaby, lully, The gods bless and keep thee from cruel annoy, Sing lully, lully, lully, Sweet baby, lully, lully, sweet baby, lully, lully. Thy father, sweet infant, from mother is gone, Sing lullaby, lully, And she in the woods here with thee left alone, Sing lullaby, lully. To thee, little infant, why do I make moan? Sing lullaby, lully, Since thou canst not help me to sigh nor to groan, Sing lully, lully, lully, Sweet baby, lully, lully, sweet baby, lully, lully. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOWN THE BROOK by ROBERT FROST THE AWAKENING RIVER by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE HEART'S RETURN by EDWIN MARKHAM NOTHING WILL CURE THE SICK LION BUT TO EAT AN APE' by MARIANNE MOORE OF JACOPO DEL SELLAIO by EZRA POUND MODERN PARAPHRASE OF SHAKESPEARE'S SONNET 29 by GEORGE SANTAYANA |
