Hollow Tree from The Hollows by Kim Thompsett

Rock me gently in a hollow tree
Fold me tenderly, bundle me to sleep
Chase my dreaming through the hidden door
Follow roots deep, ‘neath the forest floor
Where the redcap mushrooms raise their heads
Oftentimes I’d stray
Push the snowdrops from their blankety beds
To find the light of day

Roots and ivy tangle round my feet
Moss and lichen make my pillow sweet
Where discerning mortals fain would dwell
Dancing will I go
For to crack the corm and cast the spell
Watch the wild things grow

Rock me gently in a hollow tree
Fold me tenderly, bundle me to sleep
Roots and ivy tangle round my feet
Moss and lichen make my pillow sweet
If I answer not to thy request, pray please let me be
And pluck me not from my sweet nest in the hollow tree
