C. J. Dennis - Good Night

C. J. Dennis

            GOOD NIGHT

And so, Good Night. I'm rather tired.

I hardly thought I'd be required

To draw a lot of pictures, too,

When I arranged to write for you.

I found it hard, but did my best;

And now I need a little rest.

If you are pleased, why, that's all right.

I'm rather tired. And so

                        GOOD NIGHT!
