Description: A lullaby. It begins with an enumeration of the good character traits of a

            baby, followed by the reasons for his mother’s absence and then the recital
                   of what the caretaker intends to do when the baby falls asleep, what the baby
                  could expect as a reward when he wakes up and what the parents expect from
                  the baby when he grows up.
