I am looking for a Poem I was told many years ago by a 92 year old Lady in my care at that time, I loved it so much I wrote it down & have repeated it to my children when they was younger, One of my daughters recently ask me to tell the Poem to two of my grandchildren & lo & behold I could only rememeber small parts of it...I have tried searching google for this poem but nothing seems to be coming up!
( I wonder if you understand how to get to sleepy land first close your eyes quite tight & then count slowly up to 10,
First you will see the Pillows gate just knock three times & if you wait, The door will open very wide & sleepy land is just inside!)
(Moonbeams dancing in the grass will bow Politly as you pass & guide you if your very good down to the big enchanted wood)
This Lady told me she had gotten this Poem from a Magazine & again I cannot Remember which Magazine,I'm assuming this must have been around the 1950s. If anyone knows this poem I would really Appreciate finding it...Thank-You for any help

Not looking good i'm afraid. All my google searches for each line led to one result.. this thread.

Perhaps she made it up? It's certainly not a popular poem. Sounds almost like a nursery rhyme to me?

That's lovely! I would love that. Someone here said it would make lovely words for a lullaby.

I have searched Google myself & nothing is coming up for me either
I remember her saying she used to say this poem to her children one of which was in her 60s who also said she had told it to her own children...I could kick myself for not remembering it all it's driving me mad & I have lost the poem because it was in my Purse which I also lost!
One of the other lines i'm sure starts something like, (Thats where the sandman keeps his dust look out for him you really must) I loved it wish I could find it...I don't know whether she said it was a competition winner in a Magazine, Or whether i've invented that I don't think I have though...Wonder if I google what ladies magazines even existed then if I could find it that way? Thanks for replying much Appreciated
