Little fairy hymph cellar,
Thou art e'er so sweet.
| love the all, cen to thy hair
Down to thy dainty feet.
Thine eyes like pools of moonlight glow,
And sparkle with loves CLEAN,
CHANGING, dancing to and fro
Art thou but dream?
Thy hair like strands of silken floss
That's tinted golden brown,
Is radiant with lustrous gloss
And soft as milkweed down.
All, maiden fair, tell me for truth,
Twill do me we'll to know,
In all thy fairest game. forsooth,
May be thy beau?
Thy mouth is of pretty shape
And begging for kiss
Weep not, I'll let one kiss escape
And twill not go amiss.
Little fairy nymph cellar.
Thou art e'er so sweet,
love thee all. cen to thy hair,
