When the busy day is done, And my weary little one Rocketh gently to and fro; When the night winds softly blow, And the crickets in the glen Chirp and chirp and chirp again; When upon the haunted green Fairies dance around their queen - Then from yonder misty skies Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.英文原著 · 《Love-Songs of Childhood》
Dearest, feel upon your brow That caressing magic now; For the crickets in the glen Chirp and chirp and chirp again, While upon the haunted green Fairies dance around their queen, And the moonbeams hover o'er Playthings sleeping on the floor - Hush, my sweet! from yonder skies Cometh Lady Button-Eyes!英文原著 · 《Love-Songs of Childhood》

But as she did not seem displeased, I went on, a little more confidently, with some hymns that I loved for their starry suggestions,--英文原著 · 《A New England Girlhood》
Gaud quickly scanned the whole, saw the news was true, and fell on her knees to pray. The two women remained there together almost dumb, through the June gloaming, which in Brittany is long but in Iceland is never-ending. On the hearth the cricket that brings joy was chirping his shrill music.英文原著 · 《AN ICELAND FISHERMAN》
