"There, there, there, What's the matter with the boy? There, there, there. Did he go to bed at six o'clock, And sleep till half-past two? Well, well, well, There, there, there. Now close your little eyes. That's right. Now open them again. That's right. Now rest your dear head on the other shoulder. Now smile. Oh! how sweet! Wake up now, and go to sleep again. There, there, there. Shut your beautiful eyes and wake up agian. Yes, I know. Well, well, well. Lie down and get up. There, there, there. It would be lighter if it wasn't so dark. And warmer if it wasn't so cold. Yes, yes, yes. But the sun will be out in a few minutes For it's most morning. Yes, yes, my little dear, my pet." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE CHILD by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE STORY OF THE END OF THE STORY by JAMES GALVIN SORROW SINGERS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO J.
