Emily Dickinson - As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"

As Children bid the Guest "Good Night"
And then reluctant turn --
My flowers raise their pretty lips --
Then put their nightgowns on.

As children caper when they wake
Merry that it is Morn --
My flowers from a hundred cribs
Will peep, and prance again.

Could not fully get an good understanding of the poem . i guess its saying the children are waiting up for the sun to rise and as the sun comes up they bid the night good - bye
