Show j THE WAY TO SHADOW TOWN j Sway to and fro in the twilight gray; I This is the ferry for Shadowtown. ( It sails away at the end of the day Just as the darkness closes round. Rest, little hand, on my shoulder so; I A sleepy kiss is the only fare, t Drifting away from the world we go Baby and I in the rocking chair. See where the firelogs glow and spark, j Glitter the lights of Shadowland. The rain drops on the window hark, j Are ripples lapping upon its strand. ! There where a miror is glancing dim j A lake lies shimmering, cool and still; j Blossoms are wavering o'er its brim, j Those over there on the window sill. Rock slow, more slow, in the dusky light, ! Silently lower the anchor down. Dear little passenger say "Good Night." Wo'v reached the harbor of Shadow-town. Shadow-town. Eugene Field. |
