A fair little girl sat under a tree
\nSewing as long as her eyes could see;
\nShe smoothed her work and folded it right,
\nAnd said, “Dear work, good night, good night.”<\/p>\n
Such a number of rooks flew over her head,
\nCrying “Caw! Caw!” on their way to bed,
\nShe said, as she watched their curious flight,
\n“Little black things, good night, good night.”<\/p>\n
The horses neighed and the oxen lowed,
\nThe sheep’s bleat, bleat, came over the road,
\nAll seeming to say, with a quiet delight,
\n“Dear little girl, good night, good night!”<\/p>\n
She did not say to the sun Good night,
\nThough she saw him there like a ball of light,
\nFor she knew he had God’s time to keep,
\nAll over the world and never could sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
