GOOD-NIGHT

Good-night, little birdie, good-night;   Fold in your wings so bright,    Tuck in your head,       Then go to bed,   Till wee morning dawn,   With your merry song, Will welcome the broad day-light.

Good-night, little baby, good-night;   Recline your limbs so light,    Tuck down your head,       Then go to bed,   Till coming of day,   With all bright and gay, Will greet you, the bright sun-light.
