Classic and Contemporary Poetry
SYRIAN LULLABY, by ALICE HATHAWAY CUNNINGHAM First Line: Sleep, little moon of my delight Last Line: Small dove, sleep well! | |||
Sleep, little moon of my delight, My damask rose. Thine eyes--twin pools of light, Now softly close. Sleep warm, my arms will shelter thee, My wee sweetmeat, Grow tall, my straight young cypress tree, Be strong and fleet. Sleep sweet, thou wilt be wise and good, My brave gazelle, Thy cradle is of sandalwood, Small dove, sleep well! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SKELETON OF THE FUTURE; AT LENIN'S TOMB by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 27 by OMAR KHAYYAM THE LOST CHORD by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER THE YOUTH WITH RED-GOLD HAIR by EDITH SITWELL AFTER SUNSET by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
