Hello
I was reciting a poem I remembered from one of my sisters books to my Grandson the other day. I vaguely remember the book though not the title or the author. For some reason I still remember the poem though it was fifty years ago. Since it is a lovely poem for children I would love to know the author who wrote something that could stay in my memory for so long. Any help would be appreciated:-
Closed are the story books on the shelf
The teddy bear's fast asleep
The sun has gone from a darkening sky
And stars through the window peep
So off we go to the land of Nod
Down winding lullaby lane
With the night light fairies to accompany us
Till morning comes again
And it that wonderful land of Nod
Are things that bring delight
So hurry along or we'll be too late
Good night little ones, goodnight
