Good night, mother.
I gently close those eyes which once themselves
Of their own will were opened and were closed,
Which laughed with me and laughed when I was sad.
I kiss them now with lips that trembling say --
"Good night, mother."

Good night, mother,
Good night. And when tomorrow's dawning breaks
And my own eyes shall open where you are,
I'll see again the laughter in your eyes;
For you will kiss mine into life again,
And I'll be glad for I need never say --
"Good night, mother."
