Here comes the Sandman stepping so lightly,
Stealing along on the tips of his toes;
And he scatters the sand
With his own little hand,
In the eyes of the sleepy children.
Oh! Hear the sandman singing so softly,
Singing the children to sleep ev’rywhere;
See how drowsy they grow
Tired heads drooping low,
And hear the Sandman singing.
Go to sleep, my children.
Close your sleepy eyes,
The lady moon will watch you
From out the dark’ning skies;
The little stars are peeping,
To see if you are sleeping;
Go to sleep, my children,
Go to sleep. Good night.
"Conceit, arrogance, and egotism are the essentials of patriotism."
Emma Goldman
