VespersLittle Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,Droops on the little hands little gold head.Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.God bless Mummy. I know that’s right.Wasn’t it fun in the bath tonight?The cold’s so cold, and the hot’s so hot.Oh! God bless Daddy — I quite forgot.If I open my fingers a little bit more,I can see Nanny’s dressing-gown on the door.It’s a beautiful blue, but it hasn’t a hood.Oh! God bless Nanny and make her good.Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,And pull the hood right over my head,And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,And nobody knows that I’m there at all.Oh! Thank you, God, for a lovely day.And what was the other I had to say?I said “Bless Daddy,” so what can it be?Oh! Now I remember. God bless Me.Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed.Droops on the little hands little gold head.Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
