Entertainment / Literature / Lullaby: A song written for children, especially a calming one designed to help an infant go to sleep. The genre is often marked by trimeter or duple meter in its metrical line, repetition, soothing euphony, and simple diction. Many of William Blake's poems in Songs of Innocence have qualities of the lullaby--perhaps because of thematic connections in that work, or perhaps because of the Romantic poets' general fascination with innocence and its loss.
