Good Night.
Reading edition
Little Children should go to Bed Early.
The sun is hidden from our sight, The birds are sleeping sound; ’Tis time to say to all, “Good night,” And give a kiss all round. Good night! my father, mother dear, Now kiss your little son; Good night! my friends, both far and near; Good night! to every one. Good night! ye merry, merry birds, Sleep well till morning light; Perhaps if you could sing in words, You too would say, “Good night!” To all the pretty flowers, Good night! You blossom while I sleep!
GOOD NIGHT.
And all the stars that shine so bright, With you their watches keep. The moon is lighting up the skies, The stars are sparkling there; ’Tis time to shut my weary eyes, And say my evening prayer.
