I dreamed as a fairylight she came around
In a strange and hazy twilight
Twinkling of stardust and Heaven bound
For she'd died upon that frightful night
They put her in a purple jar
Her ashes I did scatter
Her absence left an ugly scar
My heart comfortless and shattered
She held my hand and called me mother
Amazed, I watched her grow
In a single moment we had lived together
Through every joy and woe
"Your wish to see me whole came true,"
cheerfully she chattered.
"But, I want to go with you,"
And I gripped her as she scattered.
And left me to the world below
where I belong, of toil and strife
For fairies are made of diamonds and gold
And do not belong to this mortal life
My fairylight she came to me
To prove that she is so at peace
And my consolation is the sea
Until she and I again meet.
