Good morning merry sunshine
How did you wake so soon?
You chased away the little stars,
And shone away the moon!

I saw you go to sleep last night
Before I ceased my playing
How did you get back overhead
And where have you been staying?

I never go to sleep, dear child,
I just go round to see
My little children of the East
who rise and watch for me.

I waken all the birds and bees
and flowers on my way,
And last of all the little child who stayed out late to play.
