Alas I thought this forest must be true	B
And would not change because of my changed eyes	C
I thought the growing things were as I knew	B
And not a mock I thought at least the skies	C
Were honest and would keep that happy blue	B
They used to wear before I learned to see	D
But woe the day	E
Lo I have wandered forth and thought to stay	E
Here where some gladness still might be for me	D
Where some delight	F
Should still break on my now too faithful sight	F
And lo not even here may I go free	D
Oh hateful knowledge pass and let me be	D
Why am I made thy slave why am I wise	C
Who once beheld all life with glamoured eyes	C
	-
Ah woe the day this bleak and shrivelled wood	G
These rotted leaves and all the wild flowers dead	H
And here the ferns lie bruised and brown that stood	G
My tall green shelter and above my head	H
The naked creaking branches show the sky	I
Athwart their lattice one murk sunless grey	E
Ah woe the day	E
I see and beauty has all passed away	E
Woe for my desolate wisdom woe Ah why	I
Must the sweet spell be broken ere I die	I
	-
Dear glad tongued lark come down and talk with me	D
Tell me oh tell me hast thou caught maybe	D
Some little word	J
Some word from heaven to make the meaning plain	K
Of this great change or change me back again	L
And chattering sparrow from the eaves come here	M
And tell me thou who seest men so near	N
Canst thou have heard	J
Some talk among them out of all their lore	O
To teach me who have learned to see as they	E
To be like them still more	O
And smile at hateful things or pass them o'er	P
Sky bird and house bird do you know the way	E
	-
Come hither let me tell you all my woe	Q
Have you not known me in my carelessness	R
I was that joyous child not long ago	Q
The fairies hid away from life's distress	S
And eager weariness of burdened men	L
To live their darling in the elfin glen	L
I was that thing of mirth and fantasies	T
More antic than young squirrels at their play	E
More wilful wanton than coy butterflies	C
Teasing the flowers with make believes to kiss	U
More happy than the early thrush whose lay	E
Awakes the woodlands with spring melodies	T
And sings the year to summer with his bliss	U
And now I am so sad	V
For listen I am wise my eyes see truth	W
And nothing wears the brightness that it had	V
Nothing is fair or glad	V
All joy and grace were dreams dead with my fairy youth	W
	-
Ah had you seen our home	X
For the great hall one amethyst clear dome	X
Fretted with silver or who could say which	Y
With white pure moonbeams and the floors made rich	Y
With patens of all rare translucent gems	Z
And musky flower buds bending down their stems	Z
For weight of diamonds that hung like dews	A2
And everywhere the radiance of carved gold	B2
And pearls' soft shimmer and quick various hues	A2
Of mystic opals glinting manifold	B2
And everywhere the music and the gleams	C2
Of clear cool water's sparkling iris beams	C2
In emerald and crystal fountains wrought	D2
Like river lilies with their buds and leaves	E2
Or as late briar shoots caught	F2
In the first glittering rime webs blithe October weaves	E2
	-
Ah me so fair so bright	F
Had you but seen But lo the other night	F
I was alone and watching how the sky	I
Made a new star each moment and grew dim	G2
And singing to the moon when he came by	I
The wise weird man what need had I of him	G2
The wise weird man who can see fairy folk	H2
And break all spells he saw me and he spoke	H2
'Poor changeling child	I2
How is thy heart beguiled	I2
And thy blind eyes made foolish with false sight	F
Let the spell end be wise and see aright '	-
Then with a frozen salve that brought sharp tears	J2
Signed both my eyes and went And from that hour	P
I am made weary with the cruel dower	K2
Of sight for evil For mine eyes before	O
Made beauty where they looked and saw no more	O
Ah happy eyes Ah sweet blind cheated years	L2
	-
Alas the glories of our fairy halls	M2
Alas the blossoms and the gems and gold	B2
Dreams dreams and lies	C
Broken and clammy are the earthen walls	M2
The mildew is their silvering where of old	B2
The jewels shimmered shimmers moist and cold	B2
The dew of oozing damps and for the dyes	C
And the fair shapes of diamond laden flowers	N2
Foul toadstool growths that never saw the skies	C
And for the fountains pools and for the bowers	N2
Blank caves Nought nought in its old gracious guise	C
And what is left for beauty is a mock	O2
Spangles and gilt and glass for precious things	P2
Bedraggled tinsel gauzes to enfrock	O2
Unlovely nakedness of earth and rock	O2
And painted images and cozenings	P2
Ah me ah me the beauty the delight	F
Dreams dreams and lies	P2
Ah me and a curse more has come with sight	F
There is no sweetness left me for my ears	P2
For when they sing the fairy melodies	P2
Like voice of laughters and like voice of sighs	P2
And voice of running brooks and voice of birds	P2
And voice of lovers' wooing and the words	P2
Are those that fill the heart of each who hears	P2
I hate the song for I hear all the while	Q2
'Dreams dreams and lies '	-
Yea and I see no loving in a smile	Q2
For when they soothe me tenderly and praise	P2
And speak the soft words of the former days	P2
My heart is cold and wise as are mine eyes	P2
And I grow sick of pleasant flatteries	P2
And talk of bliss and ancient merry ways	P2
For lo the hollow old content was vain How shall it live again	L
Dreams dreams and lies	P2
	-
And even here is change For not till now	R2
Have I seen barrenness and leaves lie dank	O2
For me the leaf was green upon the bough	R2
The livelong year my tall ferns never sank	O2
Some sweet and tender blossom always grew	B
The summer and the winter skies were blue	B
And when the snow came in a winter freak	O2
To make the blossoms play me hide and seek	O2
I laughed because I knew that they were there	S2
Ah woe is me	D
I said 'I will steal forth and make my lair	S2
Like some strayed foxcub in the sheltered wood	G
For that will be as it was wont to be	D
And I will live among the careless birds	P2
And happy forest beasts and insect herds	P2
Who in blithe wanderings find their easy food	T2
And feed and sport and rest in ceaseless glee	D
Having their world all real and all fair '	-
	-
Alas for it was falseness even here	M
The beauty has gone by it was my dream	U2
And all the black and dripping trees lie bare	S2
Soddening in fog and in dull mists that steam	U2
From the unwholesome barren earth and where	S2
The dead leaves fester that were born this year	N
Ah me I am grown wise my sight is clear	N
And to see clear is weeping wisdom is despair	S2
	-
Kind birds oh tell me whither shall I hie	V2
Dear lark hast thou looked down out of thy sky	O2
On the sweet quiet of some summer land	W2
Where truth and beauty yet go hand in hand	W2
Nay but would'st thou be here	M
Tell me half human sparrow hast thou seen	X2
Among the homes of men where thine has been	Y2
A home where I might be among my kind	Z2
And love it and love them not being blind	Z2
Tell me draw near	N
Oh answer me for now I learn desires	P2
For men's strong life to stir me and were fain	K
To lose old dreams warm by their hearthside fires	P2
Yea and I must go though it all were pain	K
The doom of my new'wisdom is on me	D
Woe for my fairy youth Man among men	L
I must go forth and suffer for I see	D
Woe for the blind days in the happy glen	L
	-
And the lark answered 'Nay I am not wise	P2
I can teach nought Only the other day	E
I heard them singing who sing in the skies	P2
And ceaselessly I whisper low that lay	E
To sing it when the summer comes again	L
'In the world are Love and Pain	K
Foes yet lovers they remain	K
Pain strengthens Love till Love slay Pain ''	-
The sparrow said 'I could not hear thee plain	K
For I was chirruping the merry rhyme	A3
I heard men sing last night at supper time	A3
'Reap the grain and sow the grain	K
To grow by sunshine and by rain ''	-
Then the sad fairies' foster child arose	P2
And saw the grey day darkening to its close	P2
And passed ou	B
