English poem
The Warm Cradle
by Laurence Alma-Tadema (1865–1940)
Hush, baby, hush, Sweet robin's in the bush— All the birdies lie so quiet, Won't my little dicky try it? Hush, baby, hush.
Sleep, baby, sleep, The lammies love the sheep— Woolly babes all nestle cosy, Lie, my lambkin, warm and rosy, Sleep, baby, sleep.
Dream, baby, dream, Our feet are in the stream— Stones below but stars above, child, Life is warm so long we love, child, Dream, baby, dream.
