Nowadays.
It's Cd ois, to the young in " world grown
A sober world and gray:
With chivalry banished. and love grown
And the fairies fled away:
For the Little People are over the sea,
over the sea to the West,
thousand leagues through the Sunset
Gates they dwell in the Isles of the
Blest.
It's oh, to be young in a world grown
"A world that once was fair;
she has painted her face an odtime
And tired her faded hair
ana Love. and Laughter. and Hope and
Faith. are withered and worn as She:
FOR all sweet things are fed away with
The Little Folk over the sea.
