And someone has just been telling me

You're making, over the shining sea,

Another beautiful day:

That just at the time I am going to sleep,

The children there are taking peep

At your face—beginning to say

"Good-morning!" just when I say, "Good-night!"

Now, beautiful sun, if they've told me right,

I wish you'd say good-morning for me

To all the little ones over the sea.
