Written by Scottish poet William Miller in 1841. A beloved bedtime rhyme about a character who runs through the town making sure all children are in bed.

Full Lyrics

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown.
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,
"Are the children all in bed, for now it's eight o'clock?"

Wee Willie Winkie, are you coming in?
The cat's singing purring songs to the sleeping hen,
The dog's stretched on the floor and doesn't give a cheep,
But here's a wakeful laddie that will not fall asleep!
