He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. HE HASN'T GOT A NOTION OF HOW CHILDREN OUGHT TO PLAY AND CAN ONLY MAKE A FOOL OF ME IN EVERY SORT OF WAY
all the day At home among my friends I stay, But every night I go abroad Afar into the land of Nod. All by myself I have to go, With none to tell me what to do-- All alone beside the streams And up the mountain-sides of dreams. The strangest things are there for me, Both things to eat and things to see, And many frightening sights abroad Till morning in the land of Nod. Try as I like to find the way, I never can get back by day, Nor can remember plain and clear The curious music that I hear. [Illustration] [Illustration] MY SHADOW I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-- Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all. ND OF COUNTERPANE THE LAND OF NOD FROM BREAKFAST ON THROUGH ALL THE DAY AT HOME AMONG MY FRIENDS I STAY BUT EVERY NIGHT I GO ABROAD AFAR INTO THE LAND OF NOD ALL BY MYSELF I HAVE TO GO WITH NONE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO ALL ALONE BESIDE THE STREAMS AND UP THE MOUNTAIN SIDES OF DREAMS THE STRANGEST THINGS ARE THERE FOR ME BOTH THINGS TO EAT AND THINGS TO SEE AND MANY FRIGHTENING SIGHTS ABROAD TILL MORNING IN THE LAND OF NOD TRY AS I LIKE TO FIND THE WAY I CAN NEVER GET BACK BY DAY NOR CAN REMEMBER PLAIN AND CLEAR THE CURIOUS MUSIC THAT I HEAR MY SHADOW I HAVE A LITTLE SHADOW THAT GOES IN AND OUT WITH ME AND WHAT CAN BE THE USE OF HIM IS MORE THAN I CAN SEE HE IS VERY VERY LIKE ME FROM THE HEELS UP TO THE HEAD AND I CAN SEE HIM JUMP BEFORE ME WHEN I JUMP INTO MY BED THE FUNNY THING ABOUT HIM IS THE WAY HE LIKES TO GROW NOT AT ALL LIKE PROPER CHILDREN WHICH IS VERY VERY SLOW HE SOMETIMES SHOOTS UP TALLER LIKE AN INDIA RUBBER BALL AND SOMETIMES HE GETS SO SMALL THAT THERE'S NONE OF HIM AT ALL
