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. 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
est the hunt be drawing near, Or a comer-by be seen Swinging in a palanquin;-- Where among the desert sands Some deserted city stands, All its children, sweep and prince, Grown to manhood ages since, Not a foot in street or house, Not a stir of child or mouse, And when kindly falls the night, In all the town no spark of light. There I'll come when I'm a man With a camel caravan; Light a fire in the gloom Of some dusty dining room; See the pictures on the walls, Heroes, fights and festivals And in a corner find the toys Of the old Egyptian boys. [Illustration] MY BED IS A BOAT [Illustration: _My bed is like a little 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.
