¶Liedtext

We fays and fairies live unseen, Or sporting on the new-mown green. From off the rose's thorny lip Ambrosial dews and sweets we sip, Steal the honey from the bee, Dive for coral from the sea, Suck the sweets from ev'ry flow'r, Moisten'd by the evening hour. On the moon's light beams we sit, Thro' the air on bat's wing flit, Till the cock proclaims the day. Hark, now he crows "Come away".
