There is a little one asleep That does not hear his mother's song; But angel watchers- as I weep- Surround his grave the night-tide long. And as I sing, my sweet, to you, Oh, would the lullaby I sing- The same sweet lullaby he knew While slumb'ring on this bosom too- Were borne to him on angel's wing! So hushaby- O hushaby.......a beautiful Lullaby......delightful to read this lyrical poem.....

'The moon is singing to a star The little song I sing to you; The father sun has strayed afar, As baby's sire is straying too' - loved these lines! Poignant at the end!

Part Three- -Oh, yes, every child should get to know The Duel! ! ! " The gingham dog and the calico cat Side by side on the table sat; 'T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!) Nor one nor t' other had slept a wink! " .

Part Two of Memory Lane- -Do you remember reading " Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe, " in a Little Golden Book with those gorgeous colorful illustrations? -

The author of a couple of my childhood favorites and perhaps yours as well...Little Boy Blue " The little toy dog is covered with dust, But sturdy and stanch he stands; And the little toy soldier is red with rust, And his musket molds in his hands." And then there is Wynken, Blynken, And Nod. What a treat to read more by this gentle man! ! !
