Tread softly through the garden,
tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
Tonight, the moon spills silver,
my life's companion is near,
lost in the ecstasy of my being.
Tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
Tonight, the moon spills silver,
tonight, the moon spills silver,
my life's companion is near,
lost in the ecstasy of my being.
Tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
Let your humming be hushed,
let your tinkling bells be silenced,
lest you disturb the peace.
Tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
Tread softly through the garden,
little bee,
tread softly through the garden.
Lest a petal fall,
lest a flower fade,
lest a petal fall,
lest a flower fade,
watch the jewels of the buds.
Tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
Let not the cuckoo call,
O, the cuckoo, cease your song.
Let not the cuckoo call,
O, the cuckoo, cease your song.
My beloved has come to my dwelling,
my beloved has come to my dwelling.
Tread softly, little bee, in the garden.
