Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do! OH I DO THINK IT IS THE PLEASANTEST THING EVER A CHILD CAN DO
t, 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. 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. [Illustration] [Illustration] THE SWING How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? MBARK 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 THE MOON THE MOON HAS A FACE LIKE THE CLOCK IN THE HALL SHE SHINES ON THIEVES ON THE GARDEN WALL ON STREETS AND FIELDS AND HARBOUR QUAYS AND BIRDIES ASLEEP IN THE FORKS OF THE TREES THE SQUALIT RING 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 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 THUS WAVING HOW DO YOU LIKE TO GO OPEN A SWING UP IN THE AIR SO BLUE
