Strawberry of the night are riper
Than the Strawberry pluck at noon
Gather to your fairy piper
When he pipes his magic tune:
Merry, merry,
Take a Strawberry;
Mine are sounder,
Mine are rounder,
Mine are sweeter
For the eater
Under the moon.
And you’ll be fairies soon.
In the Strawberry pluck at night,
With the dew of summer swelling,
There’s a juice of pure delight.
