Explore "Lady Button-Eyes" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the busy day is done, / And my weary little one / Rocketh gently to and fro; / When the night winds softly blow, / And the crickets in the glen / Chirp and chirp and chirp again; / When upon the haunted green / Fairies dance around their queen -- / Then from yonder misty skies / Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Through the murk and mist and gloam / To our quiet, cozy home, / Where to singing, sweet and low, / Rocks a cradle to and fro; / Where the clock's dull monotone / Telleth of the day that's done; / Where the moonbeams hover o'er / Playthings sleeping on the floor -- / Where my weary wee one lies / Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
