Good Morning, Merry Sunshine,
Why did you wake so soon?
You scared the little stars away,
And shined away the moon.
I saw you go to sleep last night,
Before I ceased my play,
How did you get way over here?
And where have you been staying?

I never go to sleep, Dear Child.
I just go round to see
The little children of the East,
Who rise and wait for me.
I wake up all the birds and bees,
And flowers on my way,
And last of all the little child
Who stayed out late to play.
