  1. 21. Wynken, Blynken, And Nod

    Famous Poem

    Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
    Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—
    Sailed on a river of crystal light
    Into a sea of dew.

  3. 22. Little Boy

    Little boy, with your eyes so blue,
    You see the world so shiny and new.
    He hugs his mommy, leaves his daddy's knee.
    Time to explore; so much to see.

    If I were a magician with dancing eyes,

  8. 26. Travel For Fun

    I want to travel around the world for fun,
    And see different lands, one by one.

    I would like to have a magic carpet that will take me afar.

    Mrs. Blossom was a witch,
    we're pretty sure of that,

    wear a cloak, or pointed hat.

    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.
