EUGENE FIELD BORN SEPTEMBER 3, 1850 by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: AT NIGHT WHEN THE ROCKABY LADY COMES
Last Line: AND WROTE IT OUT PLAIN IN A SMALL BOOK FOR YOU.
Subject(s): BIOGRAPHY; FIELD, EUGENE (1850-1895); SEPTEMBER; STORY-TELLING; BIOGRAPHERS;
AT night when the Rockaby Lady comes
With dollies, and lollypops, bugles and drums,
With poppies that hang from her head to her feet,
I think of a friend who knew Hushaby Street,
And told of the Lady to children he knew,
And wrote it out plain in a small book for you.
