The fairy song

I'll be a fairy and drink the dew

And creep throw' the honied flowers,

And sleep in the Violets tender blue

And dance in the sunny hours.

My music shall be soft low gales

That sigh thro' the dark green trees

And Heav'ns breath swell the gossamer sails

With which I swim the breeze.

I'll be a Fairy and sip the dew

And gather sweets from honied flow'rs and dance

And I will hold a fairy court

And I will call each slumb'ring lay

And wild and gaily will we sport

As the twilight fades away.
