And ever sweetest when day grew dim,
And the bells at vespers rang.
None knew the dreams he had,
In the friendless, pitiless town;
He was only a little lad,
Barefoot and brown!
A SONG OF THE SAND MAN.
Ho! for the sand man! jolly old fellow,
With twinkling eyes and a gleesome smile;
He comes when the candles flicker yellow,
And he does his work in jauntiest style,
For he lightens his cumbersome bag of sand
With a light and a brisk and a generous hand.
Ho! for the sand man! merry old codger,
His aim is firm and his shot is crack,
And the sharpest wiles of the nimblest dodger,
Can baffle him never, nor hold him back;
Blue eyes, grey eyes, black eyes, brown,
He powders them soft-and the lids drop down
Ho! for the sand man! funny old rover,
He stops the playing and halts the fun;
He doesn't wait till the games are over,
He doesn't care whether the romps are done.
His shaggy old head pokes in, and lo!
Mouths gape widely and feet lag slow.
Ho! for the sand man! blithesome old caller,
Mothers esteem him and nurses adore,
For he gathers the children, the big and the smaller,
And hurries them swiftly away before
They know it's been done, to the babbling streams
And the singing birds of the land of dreams.
