LITTLE SISTER, by                    
First Line: "little sister, whom the fay"
Last Line: That it full soon may succour thee
Subject(s): Fairies; Elves


Little sister, whom the Fay
Hides away within his Doon,
Deep below yon tufted fern,
Oh, list and learn my magic tune!

Long ago, when snared like thee
By the Shee, my harp and I
O'er them wove the slumber spell,
Warbling well its lullaby.

Till with dreamy smiles they sank,
Rank on rank before the strain;
Then I rose from out the rath
And found my path to earth again.

Little sister, to my woe,
Hid below among the Shee,
List, and learn my magic tune,
That it full soon may succour thee.
