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.
