MY BED IS A BOAT
Reading edition
My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark; She girds me in my sailor’s coat And starts me in the dark. At night, I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore; I shut my eyes and sail away And see and hear no more. All night across the dark we steer; But when the day returns at last, Safe in my room beside the pier, I find my vessel fast.
