It's my dad's favorite poem - something of a distinction, as he's dyslexic and thus doesn't spend a whole lot of time with poetry. We had an illustrated edition of it - it's actually sitting on a bookshelf just a few feet away from me now, dogeared and battered and very much loved. The illustrations are lovely, capturing the mood of the poem perfectly - I just tried to scan one, actually, but the book is oversized and it wouldn't fit on the scanner. :( so sad. I mean, I'm sure they're not technically brilliant illustrations, but to my kid's eye they were wonderful. Maybe this is easier - http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0525467343/ref=sib_rdr_fc/102-0784253-8820130?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S001#reader-page
