The Swing – by Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

Bedtime Poems for Babies
Moonbeam Lullaby – by Unknown
Moonbeams gently touch the ground,
As sleepy stars begin to surround.
Close your eyes, my little one,
The day is done, the night begun.
In the moon’s soft glow, drift away,
To dreamland’s realm where fairies play.
Moonbeam lullaby, sweet and light,
Carry my baby through the night.
The Moon – by Robert Louis Stevenson
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
Dreamland – by Unknown

And let the dreams begin to run.
In dreamland’s land, you’ll softly sleep,
Until the morning light does peep.
The Newborn – by Unknown
A storm was coming, but the winds were still,
And in the wild woods the child lay;

And the mother watched with a smile, so sweet,
As the little one slept at her feet.
Twilight’s Lullaby – by Unknown
In the quiet hush of twilight’s song,
Sleepy eyes begin to long
For dreams to carry them away,
To a land where angels play.
Close your eyes, my little one,
Let sleep’s embrace now begun.

Classic Nursery Rhymes
Where the Sidewalk Ends – by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star – by Jane Taylor
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Hey Diddle Diddle – by Mother Goose
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
