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 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
