The  sun  himself  has  visen 
To  call  them,  long  ago  : 

And  he  has  tried  to  wake  you 
This  last  half-hour,  you  know. 

The  inerry  little  sunbeams 

Have  travelled— oh,  so  far ! 
Have  crept  between  the  shutters, 

In  spite  of  bolt  and  bar. 
Twas  time,  indeed,  to  wake  you, 

At  last  they  seemed  to  think  ; 
And  shot  their  golden  arrows 

Through  every  hole  and  chink. 

And  when  the  door  was  opened, 
And  Mary  came  at  last, 

Your  eyes  were  almost  blinded, 
They  fell  so  thick  and  fast. 

Then  wake,  and,  like  the  flowers. 
Lift  up  each  sleepy  head  ; 

It  IS  too  bright  a  morning 
To  waste  it  all  in  bed.
