GOOD-NIGHT

Frank Leslie Thomson Wilmot

Two brown heads on the pillows white.... Bye... good-bye... that's all to-night. Two bikes‘ round in the picnic place... Old horse tied to the apple-case.

Gentle Jesus... send the boys, Bats and balls for they winter toys. Sufi's naughty... not‘ lowed out.... Pigeon feathers blowing about.

Two bikes‘ round in the... two bikes‘ round.... Feathers blowing... the scooter's found. God bless Jesus... Bay's asleep... Where's my pillow-book?... Soul to keep.

Two bikes... two... are the stars alight? Bye... good-bye... that's all... t'night. Two brown heads on the pillows deep, Two boys mumble theyselfs to sleep.
