Emily Jane Brontë: The Complete Poems | ||
46. Song to A. A.
This shall be thy lullaby
Rocking on the stormy sea
Though it roar in thunder wild
Sleep stilly sleep my dark haired child
Rocking on the stormy sea
Though it roar in thunder wild
Sleep stilly sleep my dark haired child
When our shuddering boat was crossing
Elderno lake so rudely tossing
Then 'twas first my nursling smiled
Sleep softly sleep my fair-browed child
Elderno lake so rudely tossing
Then 'twas first my nursling smiled
Sleep softly sleep my fair-browed child
Waves above thy cradle break
Foamy tears are on thy cheek
Yet the Ocean's self grows mild
When it bears my slumbering child
Foamy tears are on thy cheek
Yet the Ocean's self grows mild
When it bears my slumbering child
