This soothing anthology contains 100 nighttime poems specially selected to calm the mind, introduce positive thoughts, lull us to sleep, and bring on sweet dreams.
It contains not only poetry about the night itself, but also an array of restful, tranquil, meditative verse, along with classic lullabies from many cultures. There are also poems that reflect on the good things in life, encouraging gratitude for the day just gone and optimism for the day ahead. Within these pages readers can observe the night sky with Emily BrontĂ«, visit the Lake Isle of Innisfree with W. B. Yeats, and experience Shakespeareâs most calming verses.
Poems include the serene âIn the Eveningâ by Nikki Giovanni, the upbeat âEverything Is Going to Be Alrightâ by Derek Mahon, the nursery classic âMy Bed is a Boatâ by Robert Louis Stevenson, and many more that are just perfect for the quiet hours of the night.
