Good morning, merry sunshine, How did you wake so soon? You’ve scared the little stars away, And shined away the moon; I saw you go to sleep last night, Before I ceased my playing, How did you get way over here, And where have you been staying. |

I never go to sleep dear, I just go ’round to see My little children of the East, Who rise to watch for me. I waken all the birds and bees, And flowers on my way. Then last of all the little child Who stayed out late to play. |
