A Time of Ease to Wander and Dream

Inspired by Bedtime by Thomas Hood located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Through the day of time it goes from morn noon announcing heralding the coming of evening

The sun twinkles shines brighter than a dime of shine until it dances the dance of sleep

All aflying are the rooks encouraging all to rendezvous home rest

Flowers head’s are adroop drowsy with sleep casting shadows tears of sleep on daisy’s yellow

The primrose of roses of fragrant are slumberous deep getting ready for night like the pimpernel red

Flying flight of wheels turns the butterfly with wings of fold exclaims the dreams of drowsy

The birds and bees work done click little wings of joy all fed and now the day is done for sleep exclaims

Pony and little people are ajoy for the day once anew is done for sweet dream tinkle trinkle blink as the stars glimmer saying it’s time for bed no one is sad

The End
