Goodbye Song

''Goodbye!'' say the swallows, ''tonight we must go,

For insects are few, and the chilly winds blow!''

''Goodbye!'' says the toad, as he crawls off alone, 

''I've found a good sleeping place under a stone!''

''Goodbye!'' says the snake, ''I am going place under a stone!''

''Goodbye!'' says the snake, ''I am going to creep

In this old hollow tree, I shall soon be asleep!''

''Goodbye!'' says the hedgehog, ''you'll see me no more,

In the ditch I shall doze and perhaps I shall snore!''

''Goodbye!'' says the frog, ''to the pond I shall leap,

And tuck  myself up in the mud for a sleep''

''Goodbye, all you creatures, sleep winter away,

And come back with joy on a sunny spring day!''
