A free, original lullaby written just for the name Gus — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
The silver moon begins to shine
Upon the stars that twinkle fine
A gentle light begins to glow
And paints the sleeping earth below
The little stars begin to creep
Across the sky so dark and deep
They peek inside the window sill
To watch baby Gus lying still
The night is soft, the air is calm
The evening sings a quiet psalm
The starlight falls upon your head
It is time to rest your head
Written for Gus
A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.
Make it a keepsake Gus will have forever

Origin — Latin and Germanic
A short form of Augustus and Augustine (Latin augustus, “venerable”), and of the Scandinavian Gustav and the Gaelic Angus.
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 Gus 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.
