Day And Night (The Adventures Of Seumas Beg)
When the bright eyes of the day Open on the dusk, to see Mist and shadow fade away And the sun shine merrily, Then I leave my bed and run Out to frolic in the sun. Through the sunny hours I play Where the stream is wandering, Plucking daisies by the way; And I laugh and dance and sing, While the birds fly here and there Singing on the sunny air. When the night comes, cold and slow, And the sad moon walks the sky, When the whispering wind says "Boh, Little boy!" and makes me cry, By my mother I am led Home again and put to bed.
