English Songs for Children
Good-Night, Little People Lyrics
The evening is coming, The sun sinks to rest, The rooks are all flying Straight home to their nest; "Caw, caw," says the rook As he flies overhead, "It's time little people Were going to bed."
The flowers are all closing, The daisy's asleep, The primrose is buried In slumber so deep; And closed for the night Are the roses so red, "It's time little people Were going to bed."
The butterfly, drowsy Has folded its wings, The bees are returning, No more the bird sings; Their day's work is over, Their nestlings are fed, "It's time little people Were going to bed."
Good-night, little people, Good-night, little ones, Sweet dreams to your eyelids Till morning light dawns. The evening has come, There's no more to be said, "It's time little people Were going to bed."
