| In silence I'll take my way | B |

| So he flew to the mountain and powdered its crest | D |
| He lit on the trees and their boughs he drest | D |
| With diamonds and pearls and over the breast | D |
| Of the quivering lake he spread | D |
| A coat of mail that it need not fear | E |
| The downward point of many a spear | E |
| That he hung on its margin far and near | E |
| Where a rock could rear its head | D |

| He went to the windows of those who slept | D |
| And over each pane like a fairy crept | D |
| Wherever he breathed wherever he stepped | D |
| By the light of the morn were seen | F |
| Most beautiful things there were flowers and trees | G |
| There were bevies of birds and swarms of bees | G |
| There were cities with temples and towers and these | G |
| All pictured in silvery sheen | F |

| But he did one thing that was hardly fair | H |
| He peeped in the cupboard and finding there | H |
| That all had forgotten for him to prepare | H |
| Now just to set them a thinking | I |

| I'll bite this basket of fruit said he | J |
| This costly pitcher I'll burst in three | J |
| And the glass of water they've left for me | J |
| Shall 'tchick' to tell them I'm drinking | I |
