A Nursery Rhyme for Ada

A free, original lullaby written just for the name Ada — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.

Ada's Starry Night

The moon is soft and round and bright,

It paints the world in silver light,

Little Ada, small and new,

Wears a sky of stars like dew.

A tiny star begins to glow,

It twinkles just for Ada, so,

It hums a tune both low and deep,

To guard her in her peaceful sleep.

The night is calm, the air is mild,

The universe has styled,

A crown of light for Ada's head,

To watch her in her bed.

Written for Ada

A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.

What does the name Ada mean?

Origin — Germanic

From the Germanic adal, “noble”; also used as a short form of Adelaide and Adeline.

Ada Lovelace, who wrote what is generally counted the first computer program in 1843, is the name’s best-known bearer.

We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.

A rhyme written around Ada

Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Ada hears their own name carried through the meter rather than dropped into a blank. That is the whole difference between a keepsake and a personalised product: the words could not be reused for another child.

Parents read it at bedtime. Grandparents and godparents frame it. Either way it is the one gift on the table that no one else can duplicate — which is why it tends to outlast everything else in the pile.
