Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBEEFFGGHHIJ EEFF| The sun is weary for he ran | A |
| So far and fast to day | B |
| The birds are weary for who sang | C |
| So many songs as they | B |
| The bees and butterflies at last | D |
| Are tired out for just think too | E |
| How many gardens through the day | B |
| Their little wings have fluttered through | E |
| And so as all tired people do | E |
| They've gone to lay their sleepy heads | F |
| Deep deep in warm and happy beds | F |
| The sun has shut his golden eye | G |
| And gone to sleep beneath the sky | G |
| The birds and butterflies and bees | H |
| Have all crept into flowers and trees | H |
| And all lie quiet still as mice | I |
| Till morning comes like father's voice | J |
| - | |
| So Geoffrey Owen Phyllis you | E |
| Must sleep away till morning too | E |
| Close little eyes down little heads | F |
| And sleep sleep sleep in happy beds | F |
