SLUMBER SONG, by ALICE FURLONG Poet's Biography First Line: Shoheen sho! There's a new moon setting Last Line: Shoheen sho, lu-lu-lo! | |||
Shoheen sho! There's a new moon setting, The babe of my bosom for sleep is fretting. Cross the child 'gainst the power of Faery, In the Name of Christ, with the might of Mary. Shoheen sho, lu-lu-lo! Shoheen sho! In the cradle of willow There's snow-white down in the sleep-soft pillow; There's a first lamb's fleece wrapped about thy body, O Babe of Beauty, O Fair-and-Ruddy! Shoheen sho, lu-lu-lo! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I WILL FORGET by ALICE FURLONG EARTH IS ENOUGH by EDWIN MARKHAM THE BLACK REGIMENT by GEORGE HENRY BOKER THE POOL by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
