FALLING STAR

Unknown

I caught a little falling star

once upn a time!
I tied it in my handkerchief
and said, Now you are mine!
He winked at me,
he blinked at me,
Then he began to cry:
if you keep me, oh, I shall die!
He cried, Oh, my! Oh, my!
Because Im not a falling star,
Only a wee firefly
I did not wish to see him die,
That shining little fly.
I blew him back up to the sky,
And as he flew on high,
His merry little twinkle said,
Sweet child, good bye! Good bye!
