The well in the wood

by Bert Leston Taylor

Dozedale and Pillow Hill,

Sleepy Hollow and Catnapville,

Dreamhaven and Slumberport.

“They pay for sleep in the Land of Nod—

Another thing that’s queer.

Some they pay by the hour or day,

And some that can sleep like tops they pay

By the week, or month, or year.

“Then, hey! and away for the Land of Nod,

On the shore of Slumber Sea!
