See the fairies lightly dancing
On the grasses cool and green,
The daisies nodding to each other
Form circle and a screen.
ON the daisy tops are seated
Tiny elves in bright array
In the circle are two fairies
Who could dance til break OF day
Tiny scarfs they have about them,
Airy scarfs Of cobwcbs fine:
Though they until the sunrise.
Not a trace they leave behind.
