BYE, BABY, NIGHT IS COME, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Bye, baby, day is over
Last Line: Bye, baby, bye!


Bye, baby, day is over,
Bees are drowsing in the clover,
Bye, baby bye!
Now the sun to bed is gliding,
All the pretty flowers are hiding;
Bye, baby, bye!

Bye, baby, birds are sleeping;
One by one the stars are peeping;
Bye, baby, bye!
In the far-off sky they twinkle--
While the cows come "tinkle, tinkle";
Bye, baby, bye!

Bye, baby, mother holds thee;
Loving tender care enfolds thee;
Bye, baby, bye!
Angels in thy dreams caress thee!
Through the darkness guard and bless thee!
Bye, baby, bye!
