Hush now children,
Tonight is not the night,
For sounds of shrieks and wails,
For noisy toys for noisy boys for
Silent slumber awaits us.
As the rain
Pitter-patters patterns
Pull close the curtains,
Stoke the fires,
Feed your bellies full
Of chicken stew dashed with black relish,
A scent warms your soul,
A stock fills your heart,
Remember tonight.
Lock away the world,
Take a candle to your bed
Watch shadows dance upon the walls,
The night is almost upon us,
Hush now children.
