A free, original lullaby written just for the name Iris — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
The velvet sky is deep and blue
With diamonds bright and sparkling dew
The moon is like a silver boat
Where tiny golden bubbles float
Little Iris, soft and bright
Wrapped in ribbons of the light
A gentle beam upon your cheek
While the quiet shadows seek
High above the sleepy town
The starry dust comes floating down
Rest your head in cozy deep
While the glowing planets keep
Written for Iris
A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.

Origin — Greek
From the Greek iris, “rainbow”. Iris was the messenger who travelled the rainbow between gods and mortals; the flower and the iris of the eye are named for the same range of colour.
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 Iris 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.
