GOOD NIGHT by HARRISON SMITH MORRIS

First Line: GOOD NIGHT, GOOD NIGHT, THE DAY IS DONE
Last Line: GOOD-NIGHT!
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;

Good-night, good-night, the day is done;
Rock, rock the cradle, little one;
The lamp is low, and low the sun,
Good-night!

Good-night, good-night, the Christmas bough
Bends to the rocking wind, and thou
To mother's ditty noddest now.
Good-night!

Good-night, good-night, the holy day
Bring baby sweets, and sweets alway!
Rock, rock--then, tiptoe, steal away,
Good-night!
