When all the children in the land,
Are put to bed at night,
A fairy waves her magic wand,
And grants them magic light,
To see with eyes though closed in sleep,
Far into dreamy-land;
To hear the music soft and deep,
The mystic fairy band.
And dreamy-land is full of flowers,
And giant waving trees,
And ferny nooks and cozy bowers,
And wondrous bumblebees,
And burrerflies as big as kites,
And birds as big as you;
Oh,don't you wish the days were night,
And dreamy-land was true?
