DAY AND NIGHT.
THE breeze is a-blowing, all out of the west;
The proud cock is crowing and lifting his crest;
The red light is growing, the darkness is going,
Night may be pleasant, but daytime is best!
The robins are flying each one to his nest;
The young lambs are lying all folded to rest;
The low winds are sighing, the sunset is dying:
Day may be pleasant, but nighttime is best.
St. Nicholas.
