Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream
A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op.61 Incidental Music: No.3 Song with Chorus: "Bunte Schlangen, zweigezüngt"
Come, now a roundel and a fairy song
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence
Some to kill cankers in the muskrose buds
Some war with reremice for their leathern wings
To make my small elves coats
And some keep back the clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits
Sing me now asleep
Then to your offices and let me rest
You spotted snakes with double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Hence, away
Hence, away
You spotted snakes with double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen
Hence, away
Hence, away
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
Ooh
Never harm nor spell nor charm
Come our lovely lady nigh
So, so good night (so good night, so good night)
So, so good night with lullaby
So (so), so good night (so good night, so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So good night
So good night
So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So, so good night with lullaby
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Beetles black, approach not near
Worm nor snail, do no offence
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Hence, away (hence, away)
Hence, away (hence, away)
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
(Hence, away) Hence, away
(Hence, away) Hence, away
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
Ooh
Never harm nor spell nor charm
Come our lovely lady nigh
So, so good night (so good night, so good night)
So good night with lullaby
So (so), so good night (so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So, so good night (so good night)
So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So, so good night with lullaby
Hence, away
Now all is well
One aloof stand sentinel
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence
Some to kill cankers in the muskrose buds
Some war with reremice for their leathern wings
To make my small elves coats
And some keep back the clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits
Sing me now asleep
Then to your offices and let me rest
You spotted snakes with double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Come not near our Fairy Queen
Hence, away
Hence, away
You spotted snakes with double tongue
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen
Hence, away
Hence, away
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby
Ooh
Never harm nor spell nor charm
Come our lovely lady nigh
So, so good night (so good night, so good night)
So, so good night with lullaby
So (so), so good night (so good night, so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So good night
So good night
So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So, so good night with lullaby
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Beetles black, approach not near
Worm nor snail, do no offence
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
Hence, away (hence, away)
Hence, away (hence, away)
Weaving spiders, come not here
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence
(Hence, away) Hence, away

Come our lovely lady nigh
So, so good night (so good night, so good night)
So good night with lullaby
So (so), so good night (so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So good night (so good night)
So, so good night (so good night)
So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So good night with lullaby
(So good night) So, so good night with lullaby
Hence, away
Now all is well
One aloof stand sentinel
