I'll set you a swing in a purple bell of the lady finger Where brown bees linger and loiter long I'll set you a swing in a fairy dell To the silvery ring of a fairy song
I'll put you afloat in a boat of pearl on a moonlit sea Where your path shall be of silver and blue To fairyland children, sweet girl To its rode-strewn strand bathed in glistening dew Bathed in glistening dew
I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest In my hearts core, alive ashore when day is gone Where cosily curled on mothers breast My share o' the world, you'll rest till the dawn
