BOYS AND GIRLS
The Sun Child
Boys and girls, come out to play:
The sun is up, the wind's astray,
Early morning's gold is gone—
(They slumber on, they slumber on.)
I have never done with you
Half the things I want to do.
I will put kisses on your knees,
And we will squander as we please
This lovely, little lazy day!

Ninety million miles away
The sun halloos: "Come out to play;
The winds are prancing on tip-toe,
Impatient with long waiting so;
The hills look up. Come out and oh,
Let your bodies dart and run
While I make shadows," says the sun.

Boys and girls, come out to play
Before the river runs away,
I have never done with you
Half the things I want to do. . . .
Before the river runs away,
I have never done with you
