The Song of the Lavender Fairy "Lavender's blue, diddle diddle"- So goes the song; All around her bush, diddle diddle, Butterflies throng; (They love her well, diddle diddle, So do the bees;) While she herself, diddle diddle, Sways in the breeze! "Lavender's blue, diddle diddle, Lavender's green;" She'll scent the clothes, diddle diddle, Put away clean- Clean from the wash, diddle diddle, Hanky and sheet; Lavender's spikes, diddle diddle, Make them all sweet!
