NEARLY BEDTIME.

Previous

ONLY half an hour or so
Before nurse calls them to bed,
And the ruddy light of a cheerful fire
Shines over each curly head.

No trouble have they, no sorrow—
Their hearts are lighter than air,
No fear that a dark to-morrow
May bring with it want or care.
God send them each on their pathway
Many a wayside flower;
And grant, in the evening of lifetime,
The joy of the evening hour.

Lithographed and printed by Ernest Nister of Nuremberg.

Transcriber’s Note:

In the first line of the second verse of The Pet Rabbit “than” has been changed to “then”. An apostrophe has been added to the title of “Father’s Boat“ and a hyphen added to “to-night”.
