Babyhood
from: Little Wandersongs
Baby's gone a-wandering,
But not so very far;
he's only off in dreamland,
Where all the fairies are.
He's gone away to dreamland
Upon the by-lo train,
And when his slumber's over
He'll wander back again.
Baby's gone a-wandering
(The restless little thing)
To watch the trolls that caper
Before the goblin king.
The lure-o'-dreams has won him
And led him on and on
To purple, poppy meadows
And castles of the dawn.
Baby's gone a-wandering,
But he will find his way
Back again to mother
And all his toys and play.
Baby's gone to dreamland,
But dreams were ever frail,
And he will break their magic
And strike the homeward trail.
