West Of The Lullaby Towns Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

west of the lullaby towns

dressed in our infant gowns

children of long ago, storybook, want to go there

in the blue shade

nightlight parade

all of the toys slumping down

some of them

on the ground after they played

all the day

into the last rosy lights

say good night

dont be frightened

God comes to stay

when you're away

west of the lullaby towns

on your way Milky Way

all the things

forgot to say

I remember now

west of the west of the lullaby towns.
