WORK TIME AND SLEEP TIME by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: DAYTIME IS THE TIME FOR LIGHT
Last Line: FOR GOD THEN PUTS THE SUN'S LIGHT OUT.
Subject(s): NIGHT; OCTOBER; SLEEP; BEDTIME;
DAYTIME is the time for light,
Better work before the night;
Better get your tasks all done
And your playing in the sun.

Daytime work is always best;
Best to keep the night for rest;
Night was meant for sleep, no doubt,
For God then puts the sun's light out.
