A BIRD'S CRADLE-SONG, by EVELYN M. WORTHLEY First Line: Weary, weary loves! Last Line: To the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below. Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
WEARY, weary loves! Day is o'er and past; Every drooping lily bell Chimes good-night at last. Softly! nursing winds Swing them to and fro With the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below. Even the willow leaves Brooding silence keep; All the great, good world is hushed -- Hushed that you may sleep! But in heaven two wee, wee stars Dance and whirl and glow To the tinkle, tinkle, tinkle of the rivulet below. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE CRIPPLE by KARLE WILSON BAKER TIRED by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE SHEPHERD BOY'S SONG, FR.
