| - | |
| MY home and haunt are in every leaf | B |
| Whose life is a summer day bright and brief | B |
| I live in the depths of the tulip's bower | C |
| I wear a wreath of the cistus flower | C |
| I drink the dew of the blue harebell | D |
| I know the breath of the violet well | D |
| The white and the azure violet | E |
| But I know not which is the sweetest yet | F |
| I have kiss'd the cheek of the rose | G |
| I have watch'd the lily unclose | G |
| My silver mine is the almond tree | A |
| Who will come dwell with flower and me | A |
| - | |
| CHORUS OF FAIRIES | G |
| - | |
| Dance we our round 'tis a summer night | H |
| And our steps are led by the glow worms' light | H |
| - | |
| SECOND FAIRY | A |
| - | |
| My dwelling is in the serpentine | I |
| Of the rainbow's colour'd line | I |
| See how its rose and amber clings | G |
| To the many hues of my radiant wings | G |
| Mine is the step that bids the earth | J |
| Give to the iris flower its birth | J |
| And mine the golden cup to hide | K |
| Where the last faint hue of the rainbow died | K |
| Search the depths of an Indian mine | I |
| Where are the colours to match with mine | I |

| CHORUS | G |
| - | |
| Dance we round for the gale is bringing | L |
| Songs the summer rose is singing | L |
| - | |
| THIRD FAIRY | A |
| - | |
| I float on the breath of a minstrel's lute | M |
| Or the wandering sounds of a distant flute | M |
| Linger I over the tones that swell | D |
| From the pink vein'd chords of an ocean shell | D |
| I love the sky lark's morning hymn | N |
| Or the nightingale heard at the twilight dim | N |
| The echo the fountain's melody | A |
| These oh these are the spells for me | A |
| - | |
| CHORUS | G |
| - | |
| Hail to the summer night of June | O |
| See yonder has risen our ladye moon | O |
| - | |
| FOURTH SPIRIT | P |
| - | |
| My palace is in the coral cave | Q |
| Set with spars by the ocean wave | Q |
| Would ye have gems then seek them there | R |
| There found I the pearls that bind my hair | R |
| I and the wind together can roam | S |
| Over the green waves and their white foam | S |
| See I have got this silver shell | D |
| Mark how my breath will its smallness swell | D |
| For the Nautilus is my boat | T |
| In which I over the waters float | T |
| The moon is shining over the sea | A |
| Who is there will come sail with me | A |
| - | |
| CHORUS OF FAIRIES | G |
| - | |
| Our noontide sleep is on leaf and flower | C |
| Our revels are held in a moonlit hour | C |
| What is there sweet what is there fair | R |
| And we are not the dwellers there | R |
| Dance we round for the morning light | H |
| Will put us and our glow worm lamps to flight | H |
