## The words

Her eyes the glowworm lend thee,  
The shooting stars attend thee;  
And the elves also, Whose little eyes glow  
Like the sparks of fire, the sparks,  
the sparks of fire, befriend thee.  
No willo’thewisp mislight thee,  
Nor snake or slowworm bite thee;  
But on, on thy way Not making a stay,  
Since ghost, since ghost there’s none to  
affright thee.  
Let not the dark thee cumber; What though the  
moon does slumber? The stars of the night Will  
lend thee their light, Like tapers clear  
without number.  
Then, Julia, let me woo thee, thus,  
thus to come unto me; And when I shall meet Thy  
silvery feet, My soul, my soul I’ll pour into  
thee.
