good night, little birds, time to return to the nest and curl up under leaves of red and brown and yellow
good night, little sprites and faeries, time to return to the woods and leave human sorrow behind for moonlit clearings and shelter of tall trees
good night little critters, bees, butterflies - time to return to homes of moss, and flowers, and soft earth

good night, little ones. sleep soundly, and dream of kinder days.
