Poetry - "Merry Sunshine" by Anonymous
Good morning, Merry Sunshine! How
do you wake so soon?
You've scared all the stars away and shined
away the moon.
I saw you go to sleep last night, before I
ceased my playing.
How did you get way over there 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 now come back to see the child who stayed
out late to play.
