A Lullaby Poem by Eugene Field
A Lullaby
The stars are twinkling in the skies,
The earth is lost in slumbers deep;
So hush, my sweet, and close thine eyes,
And let me lull thy soul to sleep.
Compose thy dimpled hands to rest,
And like a little birdling lie
Secure within thy cozy nest
Upon my loving mother breast,
And slumber to my lullaby,
So hushaby--O hushaby.
The moon is singing to a star
The little song I sing to you;
The father sun has strayed afar,
As baby's sire is straying too.
And so the loving mother moon
Sings to the little star on high;
And as she sings, her gentle tune
Is borne to me, and thus I croon
For thee, my sweet, that lullaby
Of hushaby--O hushaby.
There is a little one asleep
That does not hear his mother's song;
But angel watchers--as I weep--
Surround his grave the night-tide long.
And as I sing, my sweet, to you,
Oh, would the lullaby I sing--
The same sweet lullaby he knew
While slumb'ring on this bosom too--
Were borne to him on angel's wing!
So hushaby--O hushaby.
This is so good i just wanna weep with plessure and suckle from this poets poetic bossom. Absolutely fantastic. I want to write like this
Oh ok. He is a he and long gone. Cant get him on the phone.
There is a little one asleep That does not hear his mother's song; But angel watchers- as I weep- Surround his grave the night-tide long. And as I sing, my sweet, to you, Oh, would the lullaby I sing- The same sweet lullaby he knew While slumb'ring on this bosom too- Were borne to him on angel's wing! So hushaby- O hushaby.......a beautiful Lullaby......delightful to read this lyrical poem.....
'The moon is singing to a star The little song I sing to you; The father sun has strayed afar, As baby's sire is straying too' - loved these lines! Poignant at the end!
Part Three- -Oh, yes, every child should get to know The Duel! ! ! " The gingham dog and the calico cat Side by side on the table sat; 'T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!) Nor one nor t' other had slept a wink! " .
