  1. 21. A Day On The Farm, 1890

    "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" I heard.
    I really hate that lousy bird!
    I got home late from Betty Lou's,
    But now I've got my chores to do.

    Sometimes I dream that I can fly.

    And soon I'm soaring to the sky.
    Graceful like a bird I go.

    By ocean to a land of fairy tales,

    Hadn't come across this one before. Not quite as good as "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," but excellent for the period and a precursor to more recent sleepy time travel poems and songs.
