Yet to read the shameful story

How the Jews abused their King;

How they served the Lord of Glory;

Makes me angry while I sing。



See the kinder shepherds round Him;

Telling wonders from the sky!

Where they sought Him; there they found Him;

With His Virgin mother by。



See the lovely babe a…dressing;

Lovely infant; how He smiled!

When He wept; the mother's blessing

Soothed and hushed the holy child。



Lo; He slumbers in His manger;

Where the horned oxen fed;

Peace; my darling; here's no danger;

Here's no ox anear thy bed。



'Twas to save thee; child; from dying;

Save my dear from burning flame;

Bitter groans and endless crying;

That thy blest Redeemer came。



May'st thou live to know and fear Him;

Trust and love Him all thy days;

Then go dwell forever near Him;

See His face; and sing His praise!



Isaac Watts '1674…1748'





CRADLE SONG



Sleep; sleep; beauty bright;

Dreaming in the joys of night;

Sleep; sleep; in thy sleep

Little sorrows sit and weep。



Sweet babe; in thy face

Soft desires I can trace;

Secret joys and secret smiles;

Little pretty infant wiles。



As thy softest limbs I feel

Smiles as of the morning steal

O'er thy cheek; and o'er thy breast

Where thy little heart doth rest。



O the cunning wiles that creep

In thy little heart asleep!

When thy little heart doth wake;

Then the dreadful night shall break。



William Blake '1757…1827'





LULLABY



Baloo; loo; lammy; now baloo; my dear;

Does wee lammy ken that its daddy's no here?

Ye're rocking full sweetly on mammy's warm knee;

But daddy's a…rocking upon the salt sea。



Now hushaby; lammy; now hushaby; dear;

Now hushaby; lammy; for mother is near。

The wild wind is raving; and mammy's heart's sair;

The wild wind is raving; and ye dinna care。



Sing baloo; loo; lammy; sing baloo; my dear;

Sing baloo; loo; lammy; for mother is here。

My wee bairnie's dozing; it's dozing now fine;

And O may its wakening be blither than mine!



Carolina Nairne '1763…1845'





LULLABY OF AN INFANT CHIEF



O; hush thee; my babie; thy sire was a knight;

Thy mother a lady; both lovely and bright;

The woods and the glens; from the towers which we see;

They are all belonging; dear babie; to thee。

O ho ro; i ri ri; cadul gu lo。



O; fear not the bugle; though loudly it blows;

It calls but the warders that guard thy repose;

Their bows would be bended; their blades would be red;

Ere the step of a foeman draws near to thy bed。

O ho ro; i ri ri; cadul gu lo。



O; hush thee; my babie; the time soon will come;

When thy sleep shall be broken by trumpet and drum;

Then hush thee; my darling; take rest while you may;

For strife comes with manhood; and waking with day。

O ho ro; i ri ri; cadul gu lo。



Walter Scott '1771…1832'





GOOD…NIGHT



Little baby; lay your head

On your pretty cradle…bed;

Shut your eye…peeps; now the day

And the light are gone away;

All the clothes are tucked in tight;

Little baby dear; good…night。



Yes; my darling; well I know

How the bitter wind doth blow;

And the winter's snow and rain

Patter on the window…pane:

But they cannot come in here;

To my little baby dear;



For the window shutteth fast;

Till the stormy night is past;

And the curtains warm are spread

Round about her cradle bed:

So till morning shineth bright;

Little baby dear; good…night。




Jane Taylor '1783…1824'





〃LULLABY; O LULLABY〃



Lullaby! O lullaby!

Baby; hush that little cry!

Light is dying;

Bats are flying;

Bees to…day with work have done;

So; till comes the morrow's sun;

Let sleep kiss those bright eyes dry!

Lullaby! O lullaby。



Lullaby! O lullaby!

Hushed are all things far and nigh;

Flowers are closing;

Birds reposing;

All sweet things with life are done。

Sweet; till dawns the morning sun;

Sleep; then kiss those blue eyes dry。

Lullaby! O lullaby!



William Cox Bennett '1820…1895'





LULLABY

From 〃The Princess〃



Sweet and low; sweet and low;

Wind of the western sea;

Low; low; breathe and blow;

Wind of the western sea!

Over the rolling waters go;

Come from the dying moon; and blow;

Blow him again to me;

While my little one; while my pretty one; sleeps。



Sleep and rest; sleep and rest;

Father will come to thee soon;

Rest; rest; on mother's breast;

Father will come to thee soon;

Father will come to his babe in the nest;

Silver sails all out of the west

Under the silver moon:

Sleep; my little one; sleep; my pretty one; sleep。



Alfred Tennyson '1809…1892'





THE COTTAGER TO HER INFANT



The days are cold; the nights are long;

The north…wind sings a doleful song;

Then hush again upon my breast;

All merry things are now at rest;

Save thee; my pretty love!



The kitten sleeps upon the hearth;

The crickets long have ceased their mirth;

There's nothing stirring in the house

Save one wee; hungry; nibbling mouse;

Then why so busy thou?



Nay! start not at that sparkling light;

'Tis but the moon that shines so bright

On the window…pane bedropped with rain:

There; little darling! sleep again;

And wake when it is day!



Dorothy Wordsworth '1804…1847'





TROT; TROT!



Every evening Baby goes

Trot; trot; to town;

Across the river; through the fields;

Up hill and down。



Trot; trot; the Baby goes;

Up hill and down;

To buy a feather for her hat;

To buy a woolen gown。



Trot; trot; the Baby goes;

The birds fly down; alack!

〃You cannot have our feathers; dear;〃

They say; 〃so please trot back。〃



Trot; trot; the Baby goes;

The lambs come bleating near。

〃You cannot have our wool;〃 they say;

〃But we are sorry; dear。〃



Trot; trot; the Baby goes;

Trot; trot; to town;

She buys a red rose for her hat;

She buys a cotton gown。



Mary F。 Butts '1836…1902'





HOLY INNOCENTS



Sleep; little Baby; sleep;

The holy Angels love thee;

And guard thy bed; and keep

A blessed watch above thee。

No spirit can come near

Nor evil beast to harm thee:

Sleep; Sweet; devoid of fear

Where nothing need alarm thee。



The Love which doth not sleep;

The eternal Arms surround thee:

The Shepherd of the sheep

In perfect love hath found thee。

Sleep through the holy night;

Christ…kept from snare and sorrow;

Until thou wake to light

And love and warmth to…morrow。



Christina Georgina Rossetti '1830…1894'





LULLABY

From 〃The Mistress of the Manse〃



Rockaby; lullaby; bees in the clover!

Crooning so drowsily; crying so low;

Rockaby; lullaby; dear little rover!

Down into wonderland;

Down to the under…land

Go; oh go!

Down into wonderland go!



Rockaby; lullaby; rain on the clover!

(Tears on the eyelids that waver and weep!)

Rockaby; lullaby … bending it over!

Down on the mother…world;

Down on the other world;

Sleep; oh sleep!

Down on the mother…world sleep!



Rockaby; lullaby; dew on the clover!

Dew on the eyes that will sparkle at dawn!

Rockaby; lullaby; dear little rover!

Into the stilly world;

Into the lily world;

Gone! oh gone!

Into the lily world gone!



Josiah Gilbert Holland '1819…1881'





CRADLE SONG

From 〃Bitter…Sweet〃



What is the little one thinking about?

Very wonderful things; no doubt!

Unwritten history!

Unfathomed mystery!

Yet he laughs and cries; and eats and drinks;

And chuckles and crows; and nods and winks;

As if his head were as full of kinks

And curious riddles as any sphinx!

Warped by colic; and wet by tears;

Punctured by pins; and tortured by fears;

Our little nephew will lose two years;

And he'll never know

Where the summers go; …

He need not laugh; for he'll find it so!



Who can tell what a baby thinks?

Who can follow the gossamer links

By which the mannikin feels his way

Out from the shore of the great unknown;

Blind; and wailing; and alone;

Into the light of day? …

Out from the shore of the unknown sea;

Tossing in pitiful agony; …

Of the unknown sea that reels and rolls;

Specked with the barks of little souls; …

Barks that were launched on the other side;

And slipped from Heaven on an ebbing tide!

What does he think of his mother's eyes?

What does he think of his mother's hair?

What of the cradle…roof; that flies

Forward and backward through the air?

What does he think of his mother's breast;

Bare and beautiful; smooth and white;

Seeking it ever with fresh delight; …

Cup of his life; and couch of his rest?

What does he think when her quick embrace

Presses his hand and buries his face

Deep where the heart…throbs sink and swell

With a tenderness she can never tell;

Though she murmur the words

Of all the birds; …

Words she has learned to murmur well?

Now he thinks he'll go to sleep!

I can see the shadow creep

Over his eyes; in soft eclipse;

Over his brow; and over his lips;

Out to his little finger…tips!

Softly sinking; down he goes!

Down he goes! down he goes!

See! he is hushed in sweet repose!



Josiah Gilbert Holland '1819…1881'





AN IRISH LULLABY



I've found my bonny babe a nest

On Slumber Tree;

I'll rock you there to rosy rest;

Asthore Machree!

Oh; lulla lo! sing all the leaves

On Slumber Tree;

Till everything that hurts or grieves

Afar must flee。



I've put my pretty child to float

Away from me;

Within the new moon's silver boat

On Slumber Sea。

And when your starry sail is o'er

From Slumber Sea;

My precious one; you'll step to shore

On Mother's knee。



Alfred Perceval Graves '1846…1931'





CRADLE SONG



I



Lord Gabriel; wilt thou not rejoice

When at last a little boy's

Cheek lies heavy as a rose;

And his eyelids close?



Gabriel; when that hush may be;

This sweet hand all heedfully

I'll undo; for thee alone;
