Little Boy Blue
“Little Boy Blue” is believed to be an ancient English nursery rhyme that originated during the Tudor era. There is a theory that suggests Elizabeth I, the queen of England, may have been familiar with the rhyme as it is speculated that her nurse recited it to her during her childhood. This charming rhyme can be either sung or spoken, depending on your preference. It tells the endearing story of a young boy who is responsible for tending to his flock of sheep but is instead fast asleep. With any luck, your little one will also drift off into a peaceful slumber, just like the little shepherd.
Golden Slumbers
The song “Golden Slumbers” originated from English poet Thomas Dekker in 1603. However, it is most commonly recognized as a track on The Beatles’ album “Abbey Road”. The soothing lyrics of this song have made it a timeless favorite. While your baby may appreciate The Beatles’ rendition of “Golden Slumbers”, singing it yourself will undoubtedly bring a sweet touch to bedtime.
