Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAABBBBB BDEEFBDGGD HBBBHHBIIBB ABBBAABFFBB| I was just a little thing | A |
| When a fairy came and kissed me | B |
| Floating in upon the light | C |
| Of a haunted summer night | C |
| Lo the fairies came to sing | A |
| Pretty slumber songs and bring | A |
| Certain boons that else had missed me | B |
| From a dream I turned to see | B |
| What those strangers brought for me | B |
| When that fairy up and kissed me | B |
| Here upon this cheek he kissed me | B |
| - | |
| Simmerdew was there but she | B |
| Did not like me altogether | D |
| Daisybright and Turtledove | E |
| Pilfercurds and Honeylove | E |
| Thistleblow and Amberglee | F |
| On that gleaming ghostly sea | B |
| Floated from the misty heather | D |
| And around my trundle bed | G |
| Frisked and looked and whispering said | G |
| Solemnlike and all together | D |
| 'You shall kiss him Ganderfeather ' | - |
| - | |
| Ganderfeather kissed me then | H |
| Ganderfeather quaint and merry | B |
| No attenuate sprite was he | B |
| But as buxom as could be | B |
| Kissed me twice and once again | H |
| And the others shouted when | H |
| On my cheek uprose a berry | B |
| Somewhat like a mole mayhap | I |
| But the kiss mark of that chap | I |
| Ganderfeather passing merry | B |
| Humorsome but kindly very | B |
| - | |
| I was just a tiny thing | A |
| When the prankish Ganderfeather | B |
| Brought this curious gift to me | B |
| With his fairy kisses three | B |
| Yet with honest pride I sing | A |
| That same gift he chose to bring | A |
| Out of yonder haunted heather | B |
| Other charms and friendships fly | F |
| Constant friends this mole and I | F |
| Who have been so long together | B |
| Thank you little Ganderfeather | B |
