[9]FLOWER BABIES
I know where some babies are snug asleep,
All in a long straight row.
And I know that someone is singing to them,
Singing soft and low.
All in a long straight row.
And I know that someone is singing to them,
Singing soft and low.
And all night long the babies sleep
And dream baby dreams, you know.
And the little stars are listening, too,
To the singing soft and low.
And dream baby dreams, you know.
And the little stars are listening, too,
To the singing soft and low.
Shall I tell you where these babies are?
You never can guess, I know.
And shall I tell you just who it is
That is singing soft and low?
You never can guess, I know.
And shall I tell you just who it is
That is singing soft and low?
Why, the little flowers are the babies, Dear,
Out in the garden, you know.
And the big pine-tree is singing to them,
Singing soft and low.
Out in the garden, you know.
And the big pine-tree is singing to them,
Singing soft and low.

[12]THE LITTLE SAND-MEN
[13]
I wonder, Dear, if you've ever heard
About the queer little men,
Who come slipping in, when the light grows dim,
And it's sleepy-time again?
About the queer little men,
Who come slipping in, when the light grows dim,
And it's sleepy-time again?
They're the funniest, cutest little Elfin men,
And they dress in the strangest way,
With queer lit
And they dress in the strangest way,
With queer lit
