It reminds me a little of the end of "As I was walking on boston common" (slow and sweet, wasn't it? in that picture book? now I'm not sure)

That's it; Norma Farber's As I Was Crossing Boston Common (1975).

As I stood still on Boston Common,
they formed a circle, sweet and slow,
with everyone pulling someone in tow—
beginning with A for Angwantibo
in tow to the man, himself in tow—
sweet and slow, sweet and slow,
surprising and uncommon.

Thank you.
