Fairy from across the sea,
come, draw closer, unto me;
rest for hours in my arms,
while I drink your many charms.

Little fairy, how I miss you,
o'er the great tempestuous sea;
far away you struggle lonely,
oh, so far away from me.

Though I hear your voice so rarely,
know so little of your strife,
when the hour of trial troubles,
then I know you are my life.
