A Lullaby

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
