A Nursery Rhyme for August
A free, original lullaby written just for the name August — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
August's Starry Night
Little August watches sky's bright gleam
dreams drift softly on a silver dream
twinkling stars hum a lullaby tune
time slips gently, woven like a rune
Gentle glow spreads across the night
soft breezes carry a quiet light
silver dots twinkle in a line
merry wishes ripple, sweet and fine
Cradled in the hush of midnight blue
August sighs as moonbeams whisper true
gold stars parade in gowns of whispered gold
Dreams aloft, the world feels warm and bold

What does the name August mean?
Origin — Latin
From the Latin augustus, “venerable, majestic” — the title voted to Octavian in 27 BC, after which both the month and the name follow.
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.
