Minnie and Winnie slept in a shell
Sleep, little ladies, and they slept well

Pink was the shell within, silver without
Sounds of the great sea wandered about

Sleep, little ladies, wake not soon
Echo on echo dies to the moon

Two bright stars peeped into the shell
"What are you dreaming of? Who can tell?"

Started a green linnet, out of the croft
Wake, little ladies, the sun is aloft
