, Lady-bird, fly away home! The squirrel add field-mouse have gone to their nest; The daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes, The bees and the insects and birds are at rest.

O Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away home! The glow-worm is lighting his glittering lamp; The dew's falling fast, and your fine speckled wings Will be moisten'd and wet with the close-clinging damp.

O Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away home! The sweet little fairy bells tinkle afar; Make haste, or they'll catch you and harness you fast With a gossamer cobweb to Oberon's car.
