Final night draws near

On the old house by the hill

Night draws near

Where the children all played at will



When the sun at last comes down

Hushing merry din

Mother won't you look around

Are the children in



Been so many years

Since we played with friends in the streets

So many years

No longer echoes of childish feet



Until we learn to love each other

When will it all begin

Mother won't you look around

Are the children in



I'm so afraid

The wolf knows where I am

I'm so afraid

The wolf knows where I am



Goodbye to the world

Seems just like the other day

Bye cruel world

All tired of our foolish play



When we get to the other land

Where mother long has been

Will we hear her say

Are the children in



I'm so afraid

The wolf knows where I am

I'm so afraid

The wolf knows where I am
