A little fairy comes at night,her eyes are blue and her hair is brownWith silver spots upon her wingsAnd from the moon she flutters down.She has a little silver wandAnd when a good child goes to bedShe waves a hand from right to the leftAnd makes a circle round its head.And then it dreams of pleasant things,Of fountains filled with fairy fishAnd trees that bear delicious fruitAnd bow their branches at a wish.Of arbours filled with dainty scents,From lovely flowers that never fade,Bright flies that glitter in the sunAnd glow-worms shining in the shadeAnd talking birds with gifted tonguesFor singing songs and telling talesAnd pretty dwarfs to show the wayThrough fairy hills and fairy dalesA little fairy comes at night,her eyes are blue and her hair is brownWith silver spots upon her wingsAnd from the moon she flutters down Aus Songtexte Mania
