FAIRY AND CHILD
Eugene Field
Oh, listen, little Dear-My-Soul,
To the fairy voices calling,
For the moon is high in the misty sky
And the honey dew is falling;
To the midnight feast in the clover bloom
The bluebells are a-ringing.
And it’s “Come away to the land of fay,”
That the katydid is singing.
Oh, slumber, little Dear-My-Soul,
And hand in hand we’ll wander —
Hand in hand to the beautiful land
Of Balow, away off yonder;
Or we’ll sail along on a lily leaf
Into the white moon’s halo —
Over a stream of mist and dream
Into the land of Balow.
Or, you shall have two beautiful wings —
Two gossamer wings and airy,
And all the while shall the old moon smile
And think you a little fairy;
And you shall dance in the velvet sky.
And the silvery stars shall twinkle,
And dream sweet dreams as over their beams
Your footfalls softly tinkle.
