Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFFHFH IJIJEKEK| You see the fairies dancing in the fountain | A |
| Laughing leaping sparkling with the spray | B |
| You see the gnomes at work beneath the mountain | A |
| Make gold and silver and diamonds every day | B |
| You see the angels sliding down the moonbeams | C |
| Bring white dreams like sheaves of lilies fair | D |
| You see the imps scarce seen against the moonbeams | C |
| Rise from the bonfire's blue and liquid air | D |

| All the enchantment all the magic there is | E |
| Hid in trees and blossoms to you is plain and true | F |
| Dewdrops in lupin leaves are jewels for the fairies | G |
| Every flower that blows is a miracle for you | F |
| Air earth water fire spread their splendid wares for you | F |
| Millions of magics beseech your little looks | H |
| Every soul your winged soul meets loves you and cares for you | F |
| Ah why must we clip those wings and dim those eyes with books | H |

| Soon soon enough the magic lights grow dimmer | I |
| Marsh mists arise to cloud the radiant sky | J |
| Dust of hard highways will veil the starry glimmer | I |
| Tired hands will lay the folded magic by | J |
| Storm winds will blow through those enchanted closes | E |
| Fairies be crushed where weed and briar grow strong | K |
| Leave her her crown of magic stars and roses | E |
| Leave her her kingdom she will not keep it long | K |
