Carousel Dreams

"Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby...

...When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses..."

The Carousel

Bettie Felder

 

Black and bay, dapple and grey,
Coach and six little horses,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby,
When you wake, you'll have cake,
And all the pretty little horses. 
 "All The Pretty Horses"
Traditional American Lullaby

 

“And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.” 
"The Circle Game"
-Joni Mitchell
