Explore "The Shut-Eye Train" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Come, my little one, with me! / There are wondrous sights to see / As the evening shadows fall; / In your pretty cap and gown, / Don't detain / The Shut-Eye train -- / "Ting-a-ling! " the bell it goeth, / "Toot-toot! " the whistle bloweth, / And we hear the warning call: / "All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!"
Over hill and over plain / Soon will speed the Shut-Eye train! / Through the blue where bloom the stars / And the Mother Moon looks down / We'll away / To land of Fay -- / Oh, the sights that we shall see there! / Come, my little one, with me there -- / 'T is a goodly train of cars -- / All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!
