Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town, Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown, Rapping at the window, crying through the lock, "Are the children in their beds, for now it's eight o'clock?" Hey, Willie Winkie - see, there he comes!" Weary is the mother who has a dusty child, A small short little child, who can't run on his own, Who always has a battle with sleep before he'll close an eye. But a kiss from his rosy lips gives strength anew to me. Wee Willie Winkie is the six-year-old son of the Colonel, and much loved by all in the regiment. He is subject to military discipline, but breaks bounds on his pony to follow a young woman who is riding - very rashly - into tribal territory. .
