Mister Sun

A. Coleridge-Taylor

I'm off to bed now, Mister Sun!

A nd see you're going too

Going to bed down there in the sky, So I'll say good-night to you.

My mother stoops and kisses me,

That's what I like the best

Who says good-night to you, Mister Sun, When you sink low down in the west?

It can't be mother, that I know, She could not reach so far.

I think it must be the Angel

Who lights the evening star.
