A Lullaby

The poetry of Eugene Field is captured beautifully in this original work. The words of the lullaby speak both to a child falling asleep and to a child who "does not hear his mother's song." The lilting triple meter and the movement of the piano accompaniment imitate rocking. Add the optional strings for a lush effect. "And as I sing, my sweet, to you, oh, would the lullaby I sing - the same sweet lullaby he knew while slumbering on this bosom too - were borne to him on angel's wing! So hushaby - O hushaby." Highly recommended!
