Fairy Hand of My Dearie

Hark! Marvelous, wondrous, beauteous hands,
Belonging to my dearie, sweet honey pie,
Longed-for touch, gentle clamp, thou fulfill,
Yet still I yearn for thee, oh fairy hand!

Coax roses to bloom in strands of thy hair,
And ribbons twine 'neath thine mystic touch,
My heart doth flutter at thy gentle caress,
Bound by love's power that only we doth share.

Thus, this fairy hand doth inspire in me
A love so true, so pure, so deep,
That knows no bounds, nor e'er shall it cease,
For thee, my dearie, forever to keep.
