hello- I just played for a retirement community where a lovely elder (probably age 75) told me of this song she learned from her great-grandmother in Nova Scotia. Does anyone know it and can you tell me anything about it? Thanks!!

Dear little light bird, happy and free
Come to me, come to me
All in white and colors bright
Come and let me hold you tight

The great sun holds me, I cannot stay
I slip through your fingers, I fly away
He sends me down with his love to you
Be glad in his light and be always true
