Mister Sun
Language: English
I'm off to bed now, Mister Sun! A nd see you're going too Going to bed down there in the sky, So I'll say good-night to you. My mother stoops and kisses me, That's what I like the best Who says good-night to you, Mister Sun, When you sink low down in the west? It can't be mother, that I know, She could not reach so far. I think it must be the Angel Who lights the evening star.
