Song: For music

Walter Trinder

A lake and a fairy boat

To sail in the moonlight clear, -

And merrily we would float

From the dragons that watch us here!

Thy gown should be snow-white silk,

And strings of orient pearls,

Like gossamers dipp'd in milk,

Should twine with thy raven curls!

Red rubies should deck thy hands,

And diamonds should be thy dow'r -

But Fairies have broke their wands,

And wishing has lost its pow'r!
