The cutest songs the world has ever heard are the lullabies that were sung over their cribs. The music of Beethoven and Mozart, Mendelssohn and Schumann may sink, but as long as mothers sing their babies to sleep, the melody of lullabies will remain. Of all the English and American writers, Eugene Field, the children's poet, sang these lullabies most often and most exquisitely. His verses not only have a poetic charm, but also a distinct vocal quality and a naive imagination that is both childish and engaging. That they grew out of Eugene Field's deep and genuine love for children and his compassionate understanding of their astonished minds is evidenced by the fact that his lullabies have peaked and appear to be a permanent fixture in classical children's literature. of the world.
