O! dear fire fly
why are you so shy
Come hither! come hither
and we shall sit together
You remain awake the whole night
for some reason unknown
come hither, O lovely bright
so that i can tell you mine own
The fire in you never burns you
but makes you shine
and such a fire lies
in this heart of mine
When darkness falls on night skies
a silky dream creeps into my eyes
for the fear that it might break
with the morning light
I keep myself awake
through the whole long night
