For what it's worth, I think it's just one of those master of his territory things. Tom just knows what's going on in his yard!

Very true... Tom, it seems, can know of things that are happening far away, and can come quickly to help when called! And help was needed... either Old Man Willow, or the river, or the whole forest were conspiring to lull them to sleep.

Sam sat down and scratched his head, and yawned like a cavern. He was worried. The afternoon was getting late, and he thought this sudden sleepiness uncanny. ‘There’s more behind this than sun and warm air,’ he muttered to himself. ‘I don’t like this great big tree. I don’t trust it. Hark at it singing about sleep now! This won’t do at all!’

To be honest with you I found this part positively delicious. Imagine being hot, tired & drowsy; you plop down against a tree, which then seems to cradle you as it sings sweet lullabies about sleep.............sigh.............sounds good to me........
