The Fairy Folk Come, cuddle close in Daddy’s coat Beside the fire so bright; And hear about the fairy folk  That
wander in the night. For when the stars are shining clear And all the world is still, They float across the silver moon
From hill to cloudy hill.Their caps of red, their cloaks of green, Are hung with silver bells; And when they’re shaken with the wind Their
merry ringing swells. And riding on the crimson moth With black spots on her wings, They guide them down the purple sky
With golden bridle rings.They love to visit girls and boys To see how sweet they sleep, To stand beside their cosy cots And at their faces peep.
For in the whole of fairyland They have no finer sight Than little children sleeping sound With
faces rosy bright. On tip-toe crowding round their heads When bright the moonlight beams, They whisper little tender words That fill their minds with dreams; And when they see a sunny smile With lightest finger tips They lay a hundred sweet sweet sighs
Upon the ruddy lips.And then the little spotted moths Spread out their crimson wings, And bear away the fairy crowd With
shaking bridle rings. Come, bairnies, hide in Daddy’s coat Beside the fire so bright; Perhaps the little fairy folk Will visit you tonight!
