TUCKED IN BY ALICE CROWELL HOFFMAN The moon man has a great big cloud To cover oer his head;The crocus has the soft, brown earth Tucked round it in its bed. The wheat-fields sleep neath blankets white, Of fleecy, downy snow;The little bugs have been wrapped up A long, long time ago. The caterpillar cuddles close In his soft silk cocoon;Hes sleeping now so he can be A butterfly next June. The little garter-snakes have creptIn holes down in the ground; They re sleeping there through winters coldAll safe and snug and sound. The turtles way down in the mud, Safe in his horny shell;I would nt like a bed like that, But it suits him quite well. And all the honey-bees that buzzed Around the summer flowrsHave snuggled close within the hive To spend the winter hours.
