A Nursery Rhyme for Anthony
A free, original lullaby written just for the name Anthony — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Starlit Gentle Night
Little Anthony watches stars so bright
Night wind hums a gentle, glowing light
The silver moon climbs soft and high
Whispered clouds drift low and sigh
Twinkling diamonds blink in velvet new
Dreams of lullabies float sweet and true
Gentle breezes hum a lullaby spoon
While sleepy crickets sing in gentle tune
Starry curtains sway with silver gleam
time whispers paint a quiet dream
Anthony sighs in the calm night air
Cradled by the glow of moonlit fair

What does the name Anthony mean?
Origin — Etruscan, via Latin
From the Roman family name Antonius, which is of Etruscan origin.
Where sources disagree: The meaning is unknown. The gloss “priceless” or “flower” comes from a Renaissance association with the Greek anthos, “flower” — the same false link that inserted the silent h into the English spelling.
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.
