This poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson is set to a beautiful melody line that touches hearts and has been used as lullabies for years. The tune is singable and playable and the broken chords in the lLH played in 6/8 will teach students how to play legato with expression. The beloved song has been featured as a single and then in a play and finally, as a musical based on the lovely words. Rock gently to the sounds, “While my pretty one, while my little ones sleep.”
