Excerpt from A Child's Garden of Verses And who can forget the Foreign Lands one sees from the cherry tree; and those others we catch sight of as the swing mounts high. Then we come to the mystic land Of counterpane; thence to the Land of Nod, where curious music sounds. Who has not grown weary with sheer fatigue at the long and toilsome journey Of the Northwest Passage that begins at Lamplight time and ends in the warm and cheerful room where mother comes-quietly to give us a good night kiss?
