Learn More About The Tree Branch Drawing
"Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all."
-"Rock-a-bye Baby," nursery rhyme
The tree limb, branch, or bough is a division of a tree where smaller portions branch from the main trunk.
The tree's crown is home to many animals, including birds, squirrels, and in tropical areas, monkeys.
The above nursery rhyme speaks of a baby rocked to sleep on a tree branch. Different theories strive to explain the lyrics.
One holds that its writer observed Native Americans rocking their children in birch bark baskets suspended from trees.
Another points to an English family with eight children who literally lived in a tree. Still others describe a political association.
