My b _ d bed is like a little b _ _ t boat ; Nurse helps me _?_ in when I embark; She girds me in _?_ my sailor's coat And starts me in _?_ the dark.
At night I go _?_ on board and say Good-night _?_ to all my friends _?_ on shore; I shut my e _ _ s eyes and sail a _ _ y away And see _?_ and hear no m _ _ e more .
And s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ s sometimes things to bed I take, As prudent sailors have _?_ to do; Perhaps _?_ a slice of wedding-cake, Perhaps a toy _?_ or two.
All night across _?_ the dark we steer; But when _?_ the day returns at l _ _ t last , Safe _?_ in my room beside _?_ the pier, I find _?_ my vessel fast. Robert Louis Stevenson
