Goodbye says the swallow,
Tonight I must go
For insects are few, and the chilly winds blow….

The Goodbye Song by Enid Blyton
********************************

"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 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 in the mud for a sleep!"
"Goodbye, all you creatures, sleep winter away,
And come back with joy on a sunny spring day!"
