Lullabies and Poems for Children
In this enchanting collection, favourite bed-time songs for children – `Rock-a-bye, Baby`, `Bye, Baby Bunting`, `Golden Slumbers` – mingle with less familiar lullabies from around the world. Added to these are beautiful lyrics to sing or read to your little ones, from Brahms` `Lullaby` to Gershwin`s `Summertime`; from Shakespeare`s lullaby for the fairy queen Titania to Langston Hughes` lullaby for a `night black baby`. Here, too, are nursery rhymes, and poems for older children by a wide variety of authors – Walter de la Mare, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, T.S. Eliot and Ogden Nash, to name but a few. Whether the intent is to soothe or to amuse, there is something here for every mood, every child, and the child in every adult.
