Answer 1

GOOD MORNING, MERRY SUNSHINE.

G. Ambrose

Good morning, merry sunshine,

How did you wake so soon?

You've scared the little stars away,

And shined away the moon;

I saw you go to sleep last night

Before I ceased my play;

How did you get way over here,

And pray, where did you stay?

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 at play.
