Oh, have you seen the fairies dance
Upon a SUmmer’S night?
And watched the gnomes and pixies
prance
Whene’re the moon is bright?
‘tiS splendid fun to see them run
As soon as it grows light.
On evening sister May and I
WenT out soon after ten:
The moon hung like a ball on high
Above the fairy glen,
And round and round upon the ground
Danced fays and eflin men.
And there at dawn, they leave behind
A ring of toadstools wee

This mark for folks to see).
Then off they fly into the sky
Just as the clock strikes three.
