Eleanor Sophia Smith (1858 –1942) was an American composer and music educator. She began publishing music compositions for children using the philosophy of Friedrich Fröbel, advocating for less memorization and drilling and more attention to intuitive appreciation of music. She earned a teaching degree and studied composition and voice in Germany. She also toured the country observing choirs and their teaching techniques. Smith began publishing for children in 1887, with her first volume of children's music titled "Songs for Little Children, Part 1". She went on to publish a whole range of music books for the use in schools.

The illustration is from a vintage postcard.

Here are the words:

Snug in his little nest
Birdie is sleeping;
Shadows across the west
Slowly are creeping;
Cattle that go to rest
Herd boys are calling;
Evening is falling.

Now the last streak of light,
O'er the hills dying,
Fades, and the dusk of night
Round us is lying;
Heaven so silver bright,
O'er us is dreaming;
Soft star-light gleaming.
