TO MOTHER FAIRIE.
gen - tle speech, and lov - ing hearts; Say, have you such to spare?
leaves, and flow’rs, and strawber-ries, A grow - ing on one vine;
I know a poor, pale bod - y, Who can - not sleep at night,
So good old moth-er Fai - rie. Since now my need you know,
And I want the lit - tle peo-ple To keep her cham - ber bright.
Tell me, have you a - ny folk, Who are wise e- nough to go?
