As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"

As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"

And then reluctant turn --

My flowers raise their pretty lips --

Then put their nightgowns on.

As children caper when they wake

Merry that it is Morn --

My flowers from a hundred cribs

Will peep, and prance again.
