SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP

Sleep, baby, sleep,
Our cottage vale is deep:
The little lamb is on the green,
With woolly fleece so soft and clean--
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Sleep, baby, sleep,
Down where the woodbines creep;
Be always like the lamb so mild,
A kind, and sweet, and gentle child.
Sleep, baby, sleep.

Illustration for the nursery rhyme, Sleep, Baby, Sleep, by Blanche Fisher Wright - from The Real Mother Goose


I’LL TELL YOU A STORY

I’ll tell you a story
About Jack-a-Nory:
And now my story’s begun.
I’ll tell you another
About his brother:
And now my story is done.
Illustration for the nursery rhyme, I'll Tell You a Story, by Blanche Fisher Wright - from The Real Mother Goose


CRY, BABY

Cry, baby, cry,
Put your finger in your eye,
And tell your mother it wasn’t I.
