text: Shy one, shy one,
  Shy one of my heart,
  She moves in the firelight
  Pensively apart.
  
  She carries in the dishes,
  And lays them in a row.
  To an isle in the water
  With her would I go.
  
  She carries in the candles,
  And lights the curtained room,
  Shy in the doorway
  And shy in the gloom;
  
  And shy as a rabbit,
  Helpful and shy.
  To an isle in the water
  With her would I fly.
