Fairy Roses, in the noontide,
   When the sun shines warm an bright,
Nestling snugly close together,
   Shut your pretty eyes so tight,
For you must be tired of dancing,
   Dancing through the moonlight night.

Fairy Roses, while you're sleeping,
   All around the fairies creeping
Silent watch are ever keeping,
   Fairy Roses, while you're sleeping.

Fairy Roses, don't be frighten'd
   When you hear that murm'ring sigh;
'Tis the night wind that, dream-laden,
   Whispering, passes by,
Bringing dreams of fairyland
   From the bright blue sky.

Fairy Roses, now you're dreaming,
   Dreaming of lands far away,
Where, beside the sparkling waters,
   Happy children laugh and play;
Fairy Roses, go on dreaming,
   Dreaming through the golden day.
