The rustling wind the whistling wind | G |

So gay that fairy music | L |
So jubilant those bells | B |
How days and weeks and months go by | M |

My mother made me promise | Q |

At fairy games with you | R |

The wood when I am gone | V |
And who when little Sister ails | W |
Can comfort her but me | C |
Her cries and tears | X |
Would reach my ears | Y |
Through all the melody | C |

DING | A |
Of Blue bells on the lea | C |

The sun was on the Blue bells | B |
The lad was on the lea | C |
Oh wondrous bells Oh fairy bells | B |
I pray you ring to me | C |
I only did as Mother bade | Z |
For tea I did not care | A2 |

Give more delight | E |
Than all this noonday glare | A2 |

No sound of bells was there | A2 |

The snow lies o'er the Blue bells | B |
A storm is on the lea | C |
Our hearth is warm the fire burns bright | E |
The flames dance merrily | C |
Oh Mother dear I would no more | B2 |
That on that summer's day | K |
Within the ring | A |
The Fairy King | A |
Had stolen me away | K |

DI DIN | F |
DING | A |
To where the Blue bells play | K |

Yet when the storm is loudest | C2 |
At deep midnight I dream | D2 |
And up and down upon the lea | C |
To chase the wind I seem | D2 |
While by my side in feathered cap | E2 |
There runs the Fairy King | A |
And down below | H |
Beneath the snow | H |
We hear the Blue bells ring | A |
D | C |
DI DIN | F |
DING | A |
Such happy dreams they bring | A |
