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.
