LAND OF NOD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I wander mountain to mountain
Last Line: And trees with folded wings.


I WANDER mountain to mountain,
From sea to sea,
I wander into a country
Where everyone is asleep.
There in the Land of Nod
I never think of home,
For home is there,
With sleeping doves and silvery girls,
Sleeping boys and drowsy roses.
There I find people whose eyes are heavy,
And trees with folded wings.
