Lullaby for the Evening

Wake now, little wild thing
The sun has gone to bed, and we
Until the hour of daylight comes
Are loosed to wander free

To wander free, little wild one
To stretch and run, to greet the night
Shake the sleep from you, and then
Give in to your delight

Give in to your lively playfulness
Oh wild one so small
But don’t forget to wander home
When daylight starts to fall
