Good-Night.

In the sky the stars are peeping, And the moon is shining bright, O’er the world a watch they’re keeping; Babies dear, Good-night! Downy baby birds are resting Hidden safely from the light, Under mother’s wings they’re nesting, Baby birds, Good-night! Little lambs are warm and quiet, Little lammies, soft and white, With their mothers close beside them, Baby lambs, Good-night. Bees and butterflies are sleeping, Folded wings no more take flight Folded they, until the morrow, Butterflies, Good-night. Baby buds have gently wrapped them In their tinted petals bright, Shut their eyes, the wind will rock them. Baby buds, Good-night. Over all the dear good angels, Holy angels, pure and white, Watch the little ones that slumber, Babies all, Good-night.
