Poor, little, tired Girlie, you've worked at your play

Till the bloom of your cheeks has faded away.

To-morrow, again, you can sit by the fire

And dress all your Dollies in gala attire.

Say, Good Night! to your thimble, needle and seams;

Run along, Little Girl, and sweet be your dreams!

Run along, Little Girl, and cover up tight!

There's nothing to harm you, no spooks in the night

Nor Bogeymen glaring when you are awake;

For they're bad little girls that Bogeymen take.
