The City Child’s Good-Night

The City Child’s Good-Night
1471

Good-night, dear, noisy, happy street!
‘The clanging bells and hurried feet,
When I am safely tucked in bed
And all the day-time thoughts are flee
Are just like music to my ears
And drive away the night-time fears

Good-night, dear street
Your lights s hine in my window all the night
And company they are to me
But, oh! how lonely it must be
Beyond the city and the park
When everything is still and dark
