A Lullaby

Ill set you a-swing in a purple bell
Of the lady finger
Where brown bees linger
And loiter long
Ill set you a-swing in a fairy dell
To the silvry ring
Of a fairy song
Ill 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 glistining dew
Bathed in glistning dew
Ill make you a nest, a soft, warm nest
In my hearts core
Alanniv ashore
When day is gone
Where cosily curled on mothers breast
My share o the world
Youll rest till dawn
