Philomel with Melody
I knew a bank where the wild thyme blows
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows
You spotted snakes with a double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs be not seen
Newts and blind-worms do no wrong
Come not near our fairy queen
Philomel with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
La la la la lullaby
La la la la lullaby
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine
With sweet musk roses and with eglantine
Never harm nor spell nor charm
Come its lovely lady's night
Philomel with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Beetles black approach not near
Worm nor snail do no offense
Philomel with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
La la la la lullaby
So good night with lullaby
La la la la lullaby
So good night with lullaby
