A Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCCDD EFEFGDGGDD BHBHFIFFID| The 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 |
