Lyric 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 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 its rode-strewn strand bathed in glistining dew
Bathed in glist ning dewI 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
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 its rode-strewn strand bathed in glistining dew
Bathed in glist ning dewI 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
