A‑Tishoo
Language: English
Sneeze, Pretty: sneeze, Dainty, Else the Elves will have you sure, Sneeze, Light-of-Seven-Bright-Candles, See they're tippeting at the door; Tiny feet in measure falling, All their little voices calling, Calling, calling, calling, calling - Sneeze, or never come no more! A-tishoo!
