Good Night.
Little Children should go to Bed Early.
The sun is hidden from our sight,
The birds are sleeping sound;
’Tis time to say to all, “Good night,”
And give a kiss all round.
Good night! my father, mother dear,
Now kiss your little son;
Good night! my friends, both far and near;
Good night! to every one.
Good night! ye merry, merry birds,
Sleep well till morning light;
Perhaps if you could sing in words,
You too would say, “Good night!”
To all the pretty flowers, Good night!
You blossom while I sleep!
GOOD NIGHT.
And all the stars that shine so bright,
With you their watches keep.
The moon is lighting up the skies,
The stars are sparkling there;
’Tis time to shut my weary eyes,
And say my evening prayer.
