Explore "Good-Night" by Amy Ella Blanchard on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
