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