"Is the Prince asleep? I would like to see;
Is the robin asleep in the cherry-tree,
And every little flower?
"The flowers are awake and play with the
bees,
The robins, they sing in the cherry-trees,
And the Prince is the gladdest of all;
For he's merry and wide awake, of course,
He is prancing about on his rocking-horse,
Or else he is playing at ball."
