[Verse 1]
A little fairy comes at night
Her eyes are blue, and her hair is brown
With silver spots upon her wings
And from the moon she flutters down
[Verse 2]
She has a little silver wand
And when a good child goes to bed
She waves a hand from right to the left
Makes a circle 'round its head
[Verse 3]
And then it dreams of pleasant things
Of fountains filled with fairy fish
And trees that bear delicious fruit
And bow their branches at a wish
[Verse 4]
Of arbours filled with dainty scents
From lovely flowers that never fade
Bright flies that glitter in the sun
And glowworms shining in the shade
[Verse 5]
And talking birds with gifted tongues
For singing songs and telling tales
And pretty dwarfs to show the way
Through fairy hills and fairy dales
[Verse 6]
A little fairy comes at night
Her eyes are blue, and her hair is brown
With silver spots upon her wings
From the moon she flutters down
