A Twilight Song

Laurence Alma-Tadema

Baby moon,‘ tis time for bed, Owlet leaves his nest now; Hide your little horned head In the twilight west now;

When you're old and round and bright, You shall stay and shine all night. Baby girl is going too In her bed to creep now;

She is little, just like you, Time it is to sleep now; When she's old and tired and wise, She'll be glad to close her eyes.
