Sleep, my babe, your road of dreams By the fireflies shall be lighted: See them link their tingling teams Round you, lest you go be-nighted! Off to-night your father flies Honey from the stars to bring: Star-town, ah, how far it lies! Thither he goes travelling. But at daybreak, big with news, Backward riding he shall come, Bright of hoof across the dews, Beating on a golden drum! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CAMOMILE TEA by KATHERINE MANSFIELD CANTICLE OF THE RACE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE LITTLE PEOPLES by CLAUDE MCKAY THE CAMBODIAN BOX by KAREN SWENSON SONGS AND THE POET (FOR SARA TEASDALE) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER |
