Day and Night

When the bright eyes of the day
  Open on the dusk, to see
Mist and shadow fade away
  And the sun shine merrily,
Then I leave my bed and run
  Out to frolic in the sun.

Through the sunny hours I play
  Where the stream is wandering,
Plucking daisies by the way;
  And I laugh and dance and sing,
While the birds fly here and there
  Singing on the sunny air.

When the night comes, cold and slow,
  And the sad moon walks the sky,
When the whispering wind says "Boh,
  Little boy!" and makes me cry,
By my mother I am led
  Home again and put to bed.
