do know a lady whose rare joys
Wake when she has tucked in two little boys.
GOOD-NIGHT
Two brown heads on the pillows white....
Bye ... good-bye ... that's all to-night.
Two bikes 'round in the picnic place ...
Old horse tied to the apple-case.
Gentle Jesus ... send the boys,
Bats and balls for they winter toys.
Sufi's naughty ... not 'lowed out....
Pigeon feathers blowing about.
Two bikes 'round in the ... two bikes 'round....
Feathers blowing ... the scooter's found.
God bless Jesus ... Bay's asleep ...
Where's my pillow-book? ... Soul to keep.
Two bikes ... two ... are the stars alight?
Bye ... good-bye ... that's all ... t'night.
Two brown heads on the pillows deep,
Two boys mumble theyselfs to sleep.
Transcriber's note
The original pages each have a verse of "A Whisper Song" appearing
as a sidenote. Since this also appears on its own as a poem I removed
the sidenoted verses from the text version to make it less disjointed.
The sidenoted verses were, however, retained for the html.
