When lying In your downy bed
And sleep is overdue.
But stIii refuses to come round
And make date with you,
Although the world outside Is dead
And not soul IL near.
It's startling then and strange. Indeed
The noises that you hear.
You lie there counting sheep perhaps
To make the sleep man come
When from the corner Of the room
There starts low. soft hum.

II fades and grows more faint
Just like a new complaint.
Outside from time TO time you hear
A faraway report
That seems to he a pistol shot
Or something Of that sort.
Then suddenly a noise begins.
Like rattling of the tin,
Which makes you think burglar boiA
Is surely breaking in.
Each sound is greatly multiplied.
A door across the street
Slammed by Wayward wind sounda nn1
The booming OF feet.
As for the creaking OF the house.

They drive you to distraction quite
The sounds you hear at night.

A statesman great and wise

And every person hailed him
