GOOD NIGHT, by ELIZABETH HAYS WILKINSON First Line: The sun is sleeping in the skies Last Line: Was once a babe like you. | |||
The sun is sleeping in the skies, Each bird is in his nest, The wind is crooning lullabies, 'Tis time to be at rest. The flowers are nodding, too, it seems, Each lamb is in the fold; The stars are shining o'er the streams, Now day's last hour is told. Oh, fear not that the shadows grow, The night and silence, too, But mean thy Lord, long years ago, Was once a babe like you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PEDANTIC LITERALIST by MARIANNE MOORE A VALEDICTION: OF WEEPING by JOHN DONNE THE WILD RIDE by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY DIRGE FOR TWO VETERANS by WALT WHITMAN STANZAS TO HELEN M-- M-- by BERNARD BARTON THE FLAG by GEORGE HENRY BOKER PENELOPE by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN |
