I snuggle down beneath my sheet,
While cricket songs so soft and sweet,
Float through my window on the breeze,
That whispers through the apple trees.

The moon hangs like a lantern bright
The moon hangs like a lantern bright,
Above our Firefly Farm tonight,
While Henry keeps his watchful care,
Of all the creatures dwelling there.

Chickens settle for their doze
Upon their wooden roosts in rows,
The chickens settle for their doze,
Like feathered pearls strung in the night,
Each softly clucking with delight.

The drowsy cows have settled down
Beneath the oak tree's spreading crown,
The drowsy cows have settled down,
Their gentle breath like evening mist,
By silver moonbeams softly kissed.
Fireflies with lanterns bright
The fireflies with lanterns bright,
Paint patterns in the velvet night,
Like tiny stars that lost their way,
And chose upon our farm to stay.

Barn cats watch shadows of the bats
The barn cats in their tower high,
Watch shadows of the bats go by,
While dreaming of their morning play,
When night gives way to golden day.

The rabbits sleep all safe and sound
In burrows deep beneath the ground,
The rabbits sleep all safe and sound,
While field mice in the fragrant hay,
Make tiny beds in which to stay.

The farm awakens
As morning paints the sky in gold,
The farm awakens, young and old,
While Henry with his gentle bark,
Greets dawn's first sleepy meadowlark.
