A Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCCDD EFEFGDGGDD BHBHFIFFIDThe stars are twinkling in the skies | A |
The earth is lost in slumbers deep | B |
So hush my sweet and close thine eyes | A |
And let me lull thy soul to sleep | B |
Compose thy dimpled hands to rest | C |
And like a little birdling lie | D |
Secure within thy cozy nest | C |
Upon my loving mother breast | C |
And slumber to my lullaby | D |
So hushaby O hushaby | D |
- | |
The moon is singing to a star | E |
The little song I sing to you | F |
The father sun has strayed afar | E |
As baby's sire is straying too | F |
And so the loving mother moon | G |
Sings to the little star on high | D |
And as she sings her gentle tune | G |
Is borne to me and thus I croon | G |
For thee my sweet that lullaby | D |
Of hushaby O hushaby | D |
- | |
There is a little one asleep | B |
That does not hear his mother's song | H |
But angel watchers as I weep | B |
Surround his grave the night tide long | H |
And as I sing my sweet to you | F |
Oh would the lullaby I sing | I |
The same sweet lullaby he knew | F |
While slumb'ring on this bosom too | F |
Were borne to him on angel's wing | I |
So hushaby O hushaby | D |
