Lullabies and Poems for Children (Everyman's Library Pocket

Lullabies and Poems for Children (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

In this enchanting and comprehensive collection, the lullabies we all were rocked to sleep with, such as â€œRock-a-Bye Babyâ€ and â€œHush Little Baby, Donâ€™t You Cry,â€ mingle with traditional lullabies from around the world. Here are beautiful lyrics to sing or read to little ones, from Shakespeareâ€™s lullaby for the fairy queen, Titania, to Brahmsâ€™s â€œLullabyâ€; and from Gershwinâ€™s â€œSummertimeâ€ to Langston Hughesâ€™s lovely lullaby for a â€œnight black baby.â€ Here, too, are poems for children that range from tender to nonsensical, from quiet to raucousâ€“from Walter de la Mare to T. S. Eliot to Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash.

Whether the intent is to soothe or to amuse, thereâ€™s something here for every mood, every child, and the child in every adult. A delightful, gift-perfect collection.
