Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes |

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

| It may not be the best poem but I love the music put to it. Both versions(Beatles and classical) |

| In researching a lullaby, I first found the Beatles had recorded the music. Then finding more information, found Thomas Dekker the author. We had a baby who passed away and this lullaby was played at his funeral. It has been 5 years almost and I finally was able to recall the music. The music was so absolutely beautiful and perfect for an infant. I plan to search for a book with this poem in print. |
