Poem 15 (J 133: 1830-1886)

1:
As children bid the Guest Good Night
As Children bid the Guest Good Night
As children bid the guest good-night ,
As children bid the guest good-night ,
2:
And then reluctant turn —
And then reluctant turn —
And then reluctant turn ,
And then reluctant turn ,
3:
My flowers raise their pretty lips —
My flowers raise their pretty lips —
My flowers raise their pretty lips ,
My flowers raise their pretty lips ,
4:
Then put their nightgowns on.
5:
As children caper when they wake
As children caper when they wake
As children caper when they wake ,
As children caper when they wake ,
6:
Merry that it is morn —
Merry that it is Morn —
Merry that it is morn ,
Merry that it is morn ,
7:
My flowers from a hundred cribs
8:
Will peep, and prance again.
