Lyrics:

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 silv'ry 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 it's rode-strewn strand bathed in glistining dew

Bathed in glist'ning dew


I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest

In my heart's core

Alanniv ashore

When day is gone

Where cosily curled on mother's breast

My share o' the world

You'll rest till dawn
