THE LIE-AWAKE.
The good 1 ititle children are all asleep. They have gone to the .Mild of dreams They have brushed their hairs, Arid said their prayers, And folded their clothes on the back of the chairs-—-They will sleep till the .sunlight gleams.
But I cannot sleep the whole night long; 1 toss oil my, pillow and think Of the fairies’ rings. Oil' the song the thrush sings, Of a thousand other wonderful things— But of sleep there comes never a wink.
f know I am naughty, I should be ■asleep; But the world is a marvellous place. I P niy eyes are .shut tight I don’t, get a sight Of the wonderful, beautiful things of the night. And I can’t feel the moon on my face. A. E. M.
