THE SANDMAN
BY MAY MORGAN

SANDMAN, sandman,
Round the world you go,
Sandman, sandman,
Every child you know.

When with us you have to be
You're not needed o'er the sea;
For with children there 'tis day.
And they're all at play.

 When with us your work is done
Off to other lands you run;
For 'tis always night somewhere,
And you must be there.

Sandman, sandman,
Round the world you go,
Sandman, sandman,
Every child you know.
