Analysis of Childrens' Days
Six o'clock,
now it's dawn.
The birds awaken and roosters crow
and children are up with their faces a'glow.
Twelve o'clock,
it's noon now.
The sun is high and the day is hot,
when asked outdoors, the children say, "Not!"
Six o'clock,
the sun is setting.
Owls go hunt and bats come out
and children are running all about.
Twelve o'clock,
it's midnight now.
The moon is high and stars are bright
and children dream all through the night.
