That I may joyfully go to my sleep.

Come, little fire-fly—come, little beast—

Come! and I'll make you to-morrow a feast.

Come, little candle that flies as I sing,

Bright little fairy-bug—night's little king;

Come, and I'll dance as you guide me along,

Come, and I'll pay you, my bug, with a song.

SONG OF A FAIRY CHIEF.

Addressed to the winds on transferring his sister to a position as one of the planets in the morning sky.
