But all of the things that belong to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; And flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall arise. BUT ALL THE THINGS THAT BELONG TO THE DAY CUDDLE TO SLEEP TO BE OUT OF HER WAY AND FLOWER AND CHILDREN CLOSE THEIR EYES TILL IN THE MORNING THE SUN SHALL RIDE
u hurry by with ladder and with light; O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him tonight! [Illustration] [Illustration] MY BED IS A BOAT My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark; She girds me in my sailor's coat And starts me in the dark. At night, I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore; I shut my eyes and sail away And see and hear no more. And sometimes things to bed I take, As prudent sailors have to do; Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake, Perhaps a toy or two. All night across the dark we steer; But when the day returns at last, Safe in my room, beside the pier, I find my vessel fast. [Illustration] THE MOON The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; She shines on thieves on the garden wall, On streets and field and harbour quays, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon.
