Baby's gone awandering But not so very far. He's only off in dreamland Where all the fairies are. He's gone away to dreamland Upon the by-lo train, And when his slumber's over He'll wander back again. Baby's gone awandering (The restless little thing) To watch the trolls that caper Before the goblin king, The Lure-o'-dreams has won him And led him on and on To purple poppy meadows And castles of the dawn. Baby's gone awandering But he will find his way Back again to mother And all his toys and play. Baby's gone to dreamland, But dreams were ever frail And he will break their magic And strike the homeward trail. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOTHING WILL CURE THE SICK LION BUT TO EAT AN APE' by MARIANNE MOORE DUTY SURVIVING SELF-LOVE; THE ONLY SURE FRIEND OF DECLINING LIFE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE POET by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SWITZERLAND AND ITALY by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY LINES TO THE MEMORY OF ANNIE WHO DIED AT MILAN, JUNE 6, 1860 by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE |
