SUN-UP AND SUN-DOWN
In a little pink cottage, three clouds from Skytown, Live two little pixies, Sun-Up and SunDown; They wear little cocked caps and tiny blue suits, And have bells on their fingers and bells on their boots; Sun-Up wakes in the dark morning hours, And sprays all the trees and sprays all the flowers. He shouts at the sun, till it pops up its head, Then, yawning and nodding, he goes back to bed. But Sun-flown sleeps on till the sun’s at its close. Then he tucks up each bird and kisses each rose; He shines up the moon, and the stars —one by'one— And, puffing his cheeks, he blows out the sun; Then hurrying off, with a shout and a leap, He Jumps into bed and he, too, goes to sleep. Now could you find pixies outside of Skytown, As quaint as Sun-Up, or as cute as Sun-Down?
