A Nursery Rhyme for Emily

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

Emily's Starry Sky

Tiny Emily, soft and new,

The evening star is watching you.

Its gentle glow, a silver thread,

Wraps around your little bed.

The moon beams down a tender light,

To keep you safe all through the night.

A sleepy cloud glides slowly past,

Shelter from the dewy grass.

Twinkle, little one so dear,

No restless worry finds you here.

Just stardust sprinkled in the air,

To crown your quiet slumber fair.

Written for Emily

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

What does the name Emily mean?

Origin — Latin

The English form of the Latin Aemilia, feminine of the Roman family name Aemilius, probably from aemulus, “rival, striving”.

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 Emily

Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Emily 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.
