MOTHER’S SONG
It is night.
The stars are shining.
They are shining through the night.
They are shining into Robin’s nest.
The baby birds are asleep.
The baby squirrels are asleep.
Now the stars peep in at Baby.
Baby is going to sleep, too.
She is so tired!
She has been playing all day.
She should be asleep now.
Mother is singing to Baby.
Baby likes mother’s sweet song.
I think you will like it, too.
Here is the song.
“Rock-a-bye, baby.
Now go to sleep.
Mother will sing of little sheep.
The little sheep run round and round.
The little sheep jump over the ground.
They run to the haycock.
What do they see?
Little Boy Blue.
Who is he?
Rock-a-bye, baby.
Are you asleep?
Mother is singing of little sheep.”
Now mother’s song is over.
Baby’s blue eyes close.
She is fast asleep.
