Good‑night little stars
Language: English
I am getting drowsy; I was up with the rising sun, And the old Dutch clock on the staircase Has just struck one. Good-night, little stars, good-night, How you twinkle and peep and stare! I know it is terribly, terribly late, Good-night little stars up there. The night-breeze blows through my window; To my little white bed I'll creep. You'll only have time to twinkle twice Before I am fast asleep.
