White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley
Down my garden walk
Oh, don’t you wish
That you could
hear them ring.
That will happen only
when the fairies sing.
This song is traditionally sung as a round: when the first singer reaches the second verse ("oh, don't you wish"), the second singer joins in singing the first verse, and so on.
Alternate first verse wording:
White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley
Deck my garden walk.
