“Babys beds a silver moon,
sailing oer the sky,
Sailing oer the sea of sleep,
While the stars float by. . . .
Babys fishing for a dream,
Fishing near and far,
Her line a silver moonbeam is,
Her bait a silver star.”
—from Babys Beds a Silver Moon, traditional, as found in Lullabies and Poems for Children, selected and edited by Diana Secker Larson, 2002.
