A CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES
IV
YOUNG NIGHT THOUGHT

Оглавление

All night long, and every night,

When my mamma puts out the light,

I see the people marching by,

As plain as day, before my eye.


Armies and emperors and kings,

All carrying different kinds of things,

And marching in so grand a way,

You never saw the like by day.


So fine a show was never seen

At the great circus on the green;

For every kind of beast and man

Is marching in that caravan.


At first they move a little slow,

But still the faster on they go,

And still beside them close I keep

Until we reach the town of Sleep.
