The Slow River Barge

Sleepy Night Tales · Oct 25, 2026 · 12m

Tonight, a wide flat barge waits at the bank of a slow dark river, its prow lantern lit for one more drowsy journey. The Slow River Barge is a gentle Sleepy Night Tales story that carries you from the riverbank, onto the cushions, past hayfields and willows, beside the quiet cargo, and through the deep quiet reach to the far bank, until you drift off to sleep. Press play, pull your blanket up, and let the river carry you gently toward sleep.
