Come Dream-Roving With Me!

Come Dream-Roving With Me!

Original version

Dim the lights.
Good night,
Sleep tight,
Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Tomorrow you will come dream-roving with me!
I shall paint you a scene,
Painstakingly mixing it drop by drop.
And you shall tell me a story
With painstaking details.

What I shall see
And what you shall hear
I shall hear
And you shall see.

We will together leap with glee
Just like a deer
Or we will deal with shaking knees
Because of what we hear
In dreamland.

And tomorrow night
We shall have stories
To tell our little ones
Because, you see,
With a book,
A stick of wood and lead,
And a little word play
We may do just as we ple!
