A free, original lullaby written just for the name Arlo — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
The silver moon begins to glow
Upon the earth so far below
The little stars awake and shine
And sparkle down on Arlo's wine
A gentle beam of golden light
Will guide you through the quiet night
The planets dance a happy tune
Beside the glowing silver moon
The constellations softly rise
To paint the darkened evening skies
They twinkle on the world below
And watch our little Arlo grow
Written for Arlo

Origin — Uncertain
Recorded from Spenser’s Arlo Hill in The Faerie Queene (1590), which he seems to have taken from the Irish place name Aherlow.
Where sources disagree: No older root is established; glosses such as “barberry tree” or “fortified hill” are unsupported.
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.
Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Arlo 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.
