A poem by A. A. Milne, from Now We Are Six.
In the Dark
So — here I am in the dark alone,
There's nobody here to see;
I think to myself,
I play to myself
And nobody knows what I say to myself;
Here I am in the dark alone,
What is it going to be?
I can think whatever I like to think,
I can play whatever I like to play,
I can laugh whatever I like to laugh,
There's nobody here but me.
I'm talking to a rabbit ...
I'm talking to the sun ...
I think I am a hundred
I'm one.
I'm lying in a forest ...
I'm lying in a cave ...
I'm talking to a Dragon ...
I'm BRAVE.
I'm lying on my left side ...
I'm lying on my right ...
I'll play a lot tomorrow ...
...........
I'll think a lot tomorrow ...
...........
I'll laugh ...
a lot ...
tomorrow ...
(Heigh-ho !)
Goodnight
