Lesson:

1. 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.





2. Good night, my father, mother, dear!


Now kiss your little son;


Good night, my friends, both far and near!


Good night to everyone.





3. Good night, ye merry, merry birds!


Sleep well till morning light;


Perhaps, if you could sing in words,


You would have said, 'Good night!'





4. To all my pretty flowers, goodnight!


You blossom while I sleep;


And all the stars, that shine so bright,


With you their watches keep.





5. The moon is lighting up the skies,


The stars are sparkling there;


'Tis time to shut our weary eyes,


And say our evening prayer.





Mrs. Follen.
