⁠3. The butterfly, drowsy,
⁠Has folded its wing;
⁠The bees are returning,
⁠No more the birds sing.
Their labour is over, their nestlings are fed;⁠
It's time little people were going to bed! 		⁠4. Good-night, little people,
⁠Good-night and good-night
⁠Sweet dreams to your eyelids
⁠Till dawning of light;
The evening has come, there's no more to be said,
It's time little people were going to bed!
