WHEN little heads weary have gone to their bed, When all the good nights and the prayers have been said, Of all the good fairies that send bairns to rest The little Plumpuppets are those I love best. @3If your pillow is lumpy, or hot, thin and flat, The little Plumpuppets know just what they're at; They plump up the pillow, all soft, cool and fat -- The little Plumpuppets plump-up it!@1 The little Plumpuppets are fairies of beds: They have nothing to do but to watch sleepy heads; They turn down the sheets and they tuck you in tight, And they dance on your pillow to wish you good night! No matter what troubles have bothered the day, Though your doll broke her arm or the pup ran away; Though your handies are black with the ink that was spilt -- Plumpuppets are waiting in blanket and quilt. @3If your pillow is lumpy, or hot, thin and flat, The little Plumpuppets know just what they're at; They plump up the pillow, all soft, cool and fat -- The little Plumpuppets plump-up it!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by ROBERT FROST SONG: THE STRICKEN DEER by THOMAS MOORE ROCOCO by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE CHARACTERS: ELIZABETH RIGBY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD PENETRALIA by ELFRIDA DE RENNE BARROW THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON |
