Rhyme Scheme: AABBACCAACDDEEFGGHHI JJKKJLLMMLNNOONPPQQP AARRAAASSATTUUTNNAAN| There's a little fairy who | A |
| Peeps from every dropp of dew | A |
| You can see him wink and shine | B |
| On the morning glory vine | B |
| Mischief in his eye of blue | A |
| There's another fairy that | C |
| Rides upon the smallest gnat | C |
| You can hear him tremolo | A |
| When the summer dusk falls slow | A |
| Circling just above your hat | C |
| And another one that sways | D |
| In the golden slanted rays | D |
| Of the sunlight where it floats | E |
| Prosy people call them motes | E |
| But they're fairies father says | F |
| But there's one that no one sees | G |
| Only maybe moths and bees | G |
| Who in lofts where knot holes are | H |
| On the thin light of a star | H |
| Slides through crannied crevices | I |
| You may hear him sigh and sing | J |
| Near a May fly's captured wing | J |
| In a spider web close by | K |
| See him with a moonbeam pry | K |
| Moonflowers open where they swing | J |
| Down the garden ways he goes | L |
| On a beetle's back and blows | L |
| Sullen music from a horn | M |
| Or you'll hear him when 't is morn | M |
| Buzzing bee like by a rose | L |
| And it's he who when 't is night | N |
| Twinkles with a firefly light | N |
| Shakes a katydid tambourine | O |
| Or amid the mossy green | O |
| Rasps his cricket fiddle tight | N |
| He it is who heaves the dome | P |
| Of the mushroom through the loam | P |
| Plumper than a baby's thumb | Q |
| Or who taps a tinder drum | Q |
| In the dead wood's honeycomb | P |
| He's that Robin Goodfell w | A |
| Or that Puck who long ago | A |
| Used to marshlight lead astray | R |
| People in old Shakespeare's day | R |
| That is father told me so | A |
| He's the one that in the Fall | A |
| Frisks the dead leaves round us all | A |
| Herds them drives them wildly past | S |
| Dancing with them just as fast | S |
| As a boy can throw a ball | A |
| Wonder what he looks like Asked | T |
| Father once He said he'd tasked | T |
| Mind and soul to find out but | U |
| It was harder than a nut | U |
| Just refused to be unmasked | T |
| Though he thought perhaps he might | N |
| Find out some time and delight | N |
| Telling me but well he knew | A |
| He was like my questions too | A |
| Teasing and confusing quite | N |
