Lonpon, ENG: Boosey & Co,Lro, 205 Recent S1.W.l.The Fairies’ Dance
Once in the morning when the breeze The lilies white beside the walk
Set all the leaves astir, Like ladies fair and tall
And musi¢ floated from the trees Together joined, in whispered talk,
As from a dulcimer, About a fairies’ ball.
I saw the roses, one by one, The slender grasses waved along
Bow gracefully, as though The garden path, and I
A fairy dance were just begun Could almost hear the fairies’ song
Upon the ground below. ‘When blew the light wind by.
I waited there till noon to hear
The elfin music sweet,
I saw the servant bees appear
In golden jackets neat;
And though I wished just once to see
‘The happy little elves,
They were so much afraid of me
‘They never showed themselves.
