Little Star, little Star, <br />Come down quick. <br />The Moon is a bogey-man; <br />He'll eat you certain if he can. <br />Little Star, little Star, <br />Come down quick! <br /> <br />Little Star, little Star, <br />Whisper "Yes." <br />The trees are just niggers all, <br />They look so black, the are so tall. <br />Little Star, little Star, <br />Whisper "Yes" <br /> <br />Little Star, little Star, <br />Gone--all gone. <br />The bogey-man swallowed you, <br />The nigger trees are laughing too. <br />Little Star, little Star, <br />Gone--all gone.<br /><br />Katherine Mansfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-by-the-window-before-bed/
