Good-night, good-night!
Good-night and pleasant dreams!
Good-night and pleasant dreams!
Good-bye, and gentle angels guard your sleep,
Good-night, and angels watch above you keep.
Ah, if we could our childish days prolong—
If sleep would always come as sweet as this,
Shielding us from the world of dark and wrong,
Just by the magic of a mother’s kiss,
And her good-night!
