When I was young, I remember a lovely song we learned for a school
performance.  The words I remember went something like this, "The
sandman comes a creeping, beneath the windowsill."  There was another
part about how the trees "nod their heads together, their friendly
leaves entwine".  Then "Sleep now, sleep now, oh sleep little child of
mine".  There were more verses too.

My Google search found one song, which is clearly related, that was by
an unknown author but adapted by Louis Untermeyer.  But I would still
love to get my hands on the words and music for the version that I
remember.

Might the words have gone something like this?

"172. Sandman"
Lyrics of Old Songs

These are not the exact lyrics, but they should give you an idea.

If these are basically the lyrics you recall, I can provide links to
words and music.

I notice that this question is about to expire.  Do you think that I
have found the right song, and if so, should I post an answer?
