A Child’s Garden of Verses
“Young Night-Thought”
Robert Louis Stevenson
 All night long and every night,
 When my mama puts out the light,
 I see the people marching by,
 As plain as day before my eye.
 
 Armies and emperor and kings,
 All carrying different kinds of things,
 And marching in so grand a way,
 You never saw the like by day.
 
 So fine a show was never seen
 At the great circus on the green;
 For every kind of beast and man
 Is marching in that caravan.
 
 As first they move a little slow,
 But still the faster on they go,
 And still beside me close I keep
 Until we reach the town of Sleep.
