"When I go out to-mowwow," said one little fellow, about four years old, "I'll look up into the sky vewy hard, wight up; and then I shall see Amy, and God saying to her, 'Hushaby, poo' Amy! You bette' now, Amy? Sha'n't I, Mawion?" She had taught them to call her Marion. "No, my pet: you might look and look, all day long, and every day, and never see God or Amy."
Curse it!" He thought a little longer, then shrugged his shoulders with the air of one who, for the moment, has nothing better to do than wait, and flung himself on his mattress, murmuring: "Hushaby, Lupin!" In spite of his usual facility for sleep, Don Luis slept for three hours at most.
He seems to get nourishment out of abuse that would kill any other man. He thrives on it, if I'm any judge. I believe a hiss is music to his ears and a curse is a hushaby, lullaby song. Put him out of business?
Before this they had had to stop when they danced the soles off their shoes; but this evening the spider had thoughtfully provided each one with several pairs. And how did it end? All of a sudden, lights out, cobweb broken, and Miss Muffet left alone with her curds and whey? Not at all. It ended as all good parties end. The Rockaby Lady from Hushaby Street suggested that it was getting late.
Bretton sat up astonished and indignant at herself for the indulgence to which she had succumbed, and fully prepared to deny that she had slept at all her son came gaily to the attack. "Hushaby, mamma! Sleep again. You look the picture of innocence in your slumbers." "My slumbers, John Graham! What are you talking about? You know I never do sleep by day: it was the slightest doze possible."
Since that day the place has been known to the Sioux as Shunkahanakapi the Grave of the Dog. Hush, hushaby, little woman! Be brave and weep not! The spirits sleep not; 'Tis they who ordain To woman, pain. Hush, hushaby, little woman! Now, all things bearing, A new gift sharing From those above To woman, love. Sioux Lullaby. "Chinto, weyanna!
"Hushaby, my baby go to sleep, my child." HE had sung it once to her. SHE sang it now to him, and the strange words fell on Arthur's ear, even before he stepped across the threshold, where he stood appalled at the unwonted spectacle which met his view. Nina manifested no surprise whatever, but holding up her finger, motioned him to tread cautiously, if he would come near where she was.
Again, Eugene Field's "Hushaby Lady," of which the language is most simple, yet the child is carried away by the beauty of the sound.
But at the critical moment, the other Dream-Fairy, Gleam-o'-the-Murk, would pipe up his song somewhat in this fashion: Dream, dream, dream Of glamour, glint, and gleam; Of the hushaby things The night wind sings To the moon and the stars abeam; Of whimsical sights In the land o' sprites Dream, dream, dream!
There was a confused noise of guttural voices about her, and an old squaw, singing an Indian "hushaby," and rocking herself from side to side before a fire built on the marsh, before which she, the recovered wife and mother, lay weak and weary.
