Claim: A Cradle Song’s key theme (of a mother’s love for her child) is evident through the numerous times the word “sweet” was used as well as through the angelic description made by the mother in the poem.
Evidence: The mother uses the word "sweet" ten times in the poem. A key theme in "A Cradle Song" is the mother's love for her child. She makes the infant seem angelic by the way she describes the child.
