Lullaby



Lullaby


She  sings  a  lullaby for  the newborn,
Her  own sweetest  compositions in the Morn,
foraying into the world’s path of  thorn,
Rocking  the cradle ever and anon.

She  sings  a lullaby in the noon,
Wiping  the  sweat  of  Summer’s  croon,
The   child is laid  to  sleep with the fan’s boon,
She  comes   back to   her  place  for a siesta of noon.

This  was   some   thirty years  ago,
The  same moon  shines  in the  brisk of  eventide,
Yet,  no lullaby, no  cradle  and  no  soothing  words,
For  now   foster mothers  and  crèches  multiply.
