This poem is written by Alan Norman Bold. A lullaby is a song that is gentle and restful and is usually sung to help children sleep. In my previous posts, I have shared the questions & answers of The River, The Caucus Race and The Great Mouse Plot so, you can check these posts as well.

- Close our eyes

(b) What is sleep compared to? Why do you think the poet uses this comparison?
Answer: Sleep is compared to an island. The poet uses this comparison because like an island which is surrounded by the sea, undisturbed by anything around, sleep also takes us to a place where we can rest and enjoy and don’t get disturbed.
Also, when we are tired of travelling in vast sea, we see an island as a place to rest. In the same way, after a long tiring day, we take rest while sleeping.
