"Trace the history of lullabies? We might just as easily ask the origin of laughter, or the genesis of love. Lullabies radiate from the very bosom of Mother Earth, the life source of all peoples. How else could her countless children know the same song? She is a mother of infinite faces. Her voice knows a thousand timbres. Yet, she rocks us in arms as constant and as ancient as the universe itself. She soothes us with nature's murmurings and fills our dreams with her wonders. All lullabies begin with her and her beginning is beyond memory. So, you see, it is not possible to know when this lullaby began. It is only certain that it continues. It is only certain that it continues. These songs are but new verses in our mother's infinite song. Our children take comfort in her voice, understand her language, gaze lovingly inter her eyes, and nuzzle her bosom as contentedly as those children of a million generations past. These Celtic, Swedish, American, American Indian, Japanese, Canadian, Spanish and African-American songs are her song too, and yours."
