Up And-Down.

By George MacDonald

The sun is gone down And the moon's in the sky But the sun will come up And the moon be laid by. The flower is asleep. But it is not dead, When the morning shines It will lift its head. When winter comes It will die! No, no, It will only hide From the frost and snow. Sure is the summer, Sure is the sun; The night and the winter Away they run.
