Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJEKE JLMLKENE KOPOHEQE| The moonlight fades from flower and rose | A |
| And the stars dim one by one | B |
| The tale is told the song is sung | C |
| And the Fairy feast is done | B |
| The night wind rocks the sleeping flowers | D |
| And sings to them soft and low | E |
| The early birds erelong will wake | F |
| 'T is time for the Elves to go | E |
| - | |
| O'er the sleeping earth we silently pass | G |
| Unseen by mortal eye | H |
| And send sweet dreams as we lightly float | I |
| Through the quiet moonlit sky | H |
| For the stars' soft eyes alone may see | J |
| And the flowers alone may know | E |
| The feasts we hold the tales we tell | K |
| So't is time for the Elves to go | E |
| - | |
| From bird and blossom and bee | J |
| We learn the lessons they teach | L |
| And seek by kindly deeds to win | M |
| A loving friend in each | L |
| And though unseen on earth we dwell | K |
| Sweet voices whisper low | E |
| And gentle hearts most joyously greet | N |
| The Elves where'er they go | E |
| - | |
| When next we meet in the Fairy dell | K |
| May the silver moon's soft light | O |
| Shine then on faces gay as now | P |
| And Elfin hearts as light | O |
| Now spread each wing for the eastern sky | H |
| With sunlight soon shall glow | E |
| The morning star shall light us home | Q |
| Farewell for the Elves must go | E |
