A Nursery Rhyme for Isla
A free, original lullaby written just for the name Isla — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Isla's Starlight Lullaby
The silver moon begins to glow
Above where little Isla sleeps below,
The stars peek through the velvet night
To wrap her in their gentle light.
A tiny star with twinkling gleam
Drifts softly down upon a beam,
It finds her crib and settles there
To guard her dreams with golden care.
The constellations slowly spin
A quiet dance for her to win,
So rest in starshine, dearest one
Beneath the moon till night is done.

What does the name Isla mean?
Origin — Scottish
From Islay, the Hebridean island, and from the River Isla in Angus and Perthshire.
It only came into general use as a given name in the 20th century and became a top-ten name in Scotland and England in the 2000s.
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.
