Moonlit birds upon the thorn, and stars with golden carol, Sing while fairies dance for him in wonderland apparel. Rose, and star, and nightingale, and fairies round him leaping, Travel with him, fill his heart, or wide awake or sleeping ! If from out an older breast he banishes you never, Mother will be sure of him for ever and for ever.
