Born of roses, fed on dew,Charms and potions canst thou brew?Bring me here, with elfin speed,The fragrant philter which I need.Make it sweet and swift and strong,Spirit, answer now my song!* * * * *Hither I come,From my airy home,Afar in the silver moon.Take the magic spell,And use it well,Or its power will vanish soon!

Smiling with her mild face,Though the ocean frown.Clouds may dim her brightness,But soon they pass away,And she shines out, unaltered,O’er the little waves at play.So ‘mid the storm or sunshine,Wherever she may go,Led on by her hidden powerThe wild see must plow.As the tranquil evening moonLooks on that restless sea,So a mother’s gentle face,Little child,…
‘Hello! hello!
It’s lovely and coolOut here in the pool;On a lily-pad floatFor a nice green boat.Here we sit and singIn a pleasant ring;Or leap frog play,In the jolliest way.Our games have begun,Come join in the fun.’
