Little Sister, whom the Fay Hides away within his doon, Deep below yon seeding fern, Oh, list and learn my magic tune. Long ago, when snared like thee By the shee, my harp and I O'er them wove the slumber spell, Warbling well its lullaby. Till with dreamy smiles they sank, Rank on rank, before the strain; And I rose from out the rath, And found my path to earth again. Little Sister, to my woe Hid below among the Shee, List and learn the magic tune, That it full soon may succour thee.
