The Sad Part Of The Day

THE SAD PART OF THE DAY
4152

When all the house is warm and bright,
And underneath the mellow light
My Father reads his evening book,
While I am in the fire place nook
With Mother Darling, then I hear

A sound so muffled, and so drear
That sometimes I would like to cry!
Six-Seven-Eight! Please tell me why
Time goes so quickly after tea!
“Good night! Sweet dreams! they say to me
