EVENING SONG
Reading edition
Little Child, Good Child, go to sleep. The tree-toads purr and the peepers peep; Under the apple-tree grass grows deep; Little Child, Good Child, go to sleep! Big star out in the orange west; Orioles swung in their gypsy nest; Soft wind singing what you love best; Rest till the sun-rise; rest, Child, rest! Swift dreams swarm in a silver flight.— Hand in hand with the sleepy Night Lie down soft with your eyelids tight.— Hush, Child, little Child! Hush.—Good-night—
