Vespers: Vespers

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

God bless Mummy, I know that's right
Wasn't it fun in the bath tonight
The cold, so cold and the hot, 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 it, 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
