A Nursery Garland, woven by Kitty Cheatham and pictured by Graham Robertson.G.Schirmer, Inc, New York.1917.LOVE’S LULLABYLullaby, baby dear, cradled in blue,Angels and mother-love watch over you,Under your slumber robe, precious one, rest,Lullaby, sleep-a-bye, in your soft nest.Lullaby, little one, soar in your dream,Over the house-top, the mountain and stream ;Higher and higher, love, soon you will flyInto the dreamland on love’s lullaby.Lullaby, baby-bye, cradled in blue,Sleep on and dream on your nap-a-bye through,In your sweet slumber love’s lullaby hear :“ God and His angels and mother are near.”Lullaby, lullaby, mother-love singsOver the cradle of peasant and kings.“God is the Father and Mother of all,”This is Christ’s message to great and to small.Love clothes the lily in radiant white,Love feeds the lambkins, and guards through the night,Love broodeth over each hamlet and hall,Love never faileth, but careth for all.Augusta E. Stetson, C.S.D. -- source link
