I found myself in Twilight Land. How I ever got there I cannot
tell, but there I was in Twilight Land.
What is Twilight Land? It is a wonderful, wonderful place where
no sun shines to scorch your back as you jog along the way, where
no rain falls to make the road muddy and hard to travel, where no
wind blows the dust into your eyes or the chill into your marrow.
Where all is sweet and quiet and ready to go to bed.
Where is Twilight Land? Ah! that I cannot tell you. You will
either have to ask your mother or find it for yourself.
There I was in Twilight Land. The birds were singing their
good-night song, and the little frogs were piping "peet, peet."
The sky overhead was full of still brightness, and the moon in
the east hung in the purple gray like a great bubble as yellow as
gold. All the air was full of the smell of growing things. The
high-road was gray, and the trees were dark.
