Explore "The Dustman is coming" by Felix Leigh on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Off to bed the pets must flock.
Look! it's nearly eight o'clock.
Baby's sleepy, so is Claire -- / "Ah!" says Mother on the stair, / To little folks that yawn and blink, / "The dustman's coming, I should think."
Mother's right, for sure enough / Here's the dustman, strong and bluff. / "Dust ho! dust ho!" hear his cry, / As the dust-cart rumbles by.
The dustman home is going soon, / For there you see the rising moon. / And sleepy Claire, in cot so white, / Thinks that his cry must mean "Good Night."
GOOD-BYE
