NIGHT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The snow is white, the wind is cold
Last Line: And bring me the news from slumbertown.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


The snow is white, the wind is cold--
The king has sent for my three-year-old.
Bring the pony and shoe him fast
With silver shoes that were made to last.
Bring the saddle trimmed with gold;
Put foot in stirrup, my three-year-old;
Jump in the saddle, away, away!
And hurry back by the break of day;
By break of day, through dale and down,
And bring me the news from Slumbertown.
