Name of poem & author?
1 Answers
My late mother used to whisper the following lines to us as children in bed as she wished us goodnight -
"Good Night, God Bless You, Go to bed and undress you, Good Night Sweet Repose, Half the bed and all the clothes".
I have always remembered them and In the last few days of her life I whispered the last two lines to her as she lay in bed.
I have often wondered where these lines came from, presumably from a poem. I would very much like to know their origin. Can anyone help please?
