Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI| The golden dreamboat's ready all her silken sails are spread | A |
| And the breeze is gently blowing to the fairy port of Bed | A |
| And the fairy's captain's waiting while the busy sandman flies | B |
| With the silver dust of slumber closing every baby's eyes | B |
| - | |
| Oh the night is rich with moonlight and the sea is calm with peace | C |
| And the angels fly to guard you and their watch shall never cease | C |
| And the fairies there await you they have splendid dreams to spin | D |
| You shall hear them gayly singing as the dreamboat's putting in | D |
| - | |
| Like the ripple of the water does the dreamboat's whistle blow | E |
| Only baby ears can catch it when it comes the time to go | E |
| Only little ones may journey on so wonderful a ship | F |
| And go drifting off to slumber with no care to mar the trip | F |
| - | |
| Oh the little eyes are heavy but the little soul is light | G |
| It shall never know a sorrow or a terror through the night | G |
| And at last when dawn is breaking and the dreamboat's trip is o'er | H |
| You shall wake to find the mother smiling over you once more | I |
