IF you will come and stay with us
You shall not want for ease;
We'll swing you on a cobweb
Between the forest trees.
And twenty little singing birds
Upon a flowering thorn
Shall hush you every evening
And wake you every morn.
If you will come and stay with us
You need not miss your school,
A learned toad shall teach you,
High-perched upon his stool.
And he will tell you many things
That none but fairies know
The way the wind goes wandering,
And how the daisies grow.
If you will come and stay with us
You shall not lack, my dear.
The finest fairy raiment,
The best of fairy cheer.
We'll send a million glow-worms out,
And slender chains of light
Shall make a shining pathway
Then why not come to-night?
