There's a little fairy whoA
Peeps from every dropp of dewA
You can see him wink and shineB
On the morning glory vineB
Mischief in his eye of blueA
There's another fairy thatC
Rides upon the smallest gnatC
You can hear him tremoloA
When the summer dusk falls slowA
Circling just above your hatC
And another one that swaysD
In the golden slanted raysD
Of the sunlight where it floatsE
Prosy people call them motesE
But they're fairies father saysF
But there's one that no one seesG
Only maybe moths and beesG
Who in lofts where knot holes areH
On the thin light of a starH
Slides through crannied crevicesI
You may hear him sigh and singJ
Near a May fly's captured wingJ
In a spider web close byK
See him with a moonbeam pryK
Moonflowers open where they swingJ
Down the garden ways he goesL
On a beetle's back and blowsL
Sullen music from a hornM
Or you'll hear him when 't is mornM
Buzzing bee like by a roseL
And it's he who when 't is nightN
Twinkles with a firefly lightN
Shakes a katydid tambourineO
Or amid the mossy greenO
Rasps his cricket fiddle tightN
He it is who heaves the domeP
Of the mushroom through the loamP
Plumper than a baby's thumbQ
Or who taps a tinder drumQ
In the dead wood's honeycombP
He's that Robin Goodfell wA
Or that Puck who long agoA
Used to marshlight lead astrayR
People in old Shakespeare's dayR
That is father told me soA
He's the one that in the FallA
Frisks the dead leaves round us allA
Herds them drives them wildly pastS
Dancing with them just as fastS
As a boy can throw a ballA
Wonder what he looks like AskedT
Father once He said he'd taskedT
Mind and soul to find out butU
It was harder than a nutU
Just refused to be unmaskedT
Though he thought perhaps he mightN
Find out some time and delightN
Telling me but well he knewA
He was like my questions tooA
Teasing and confusing quiteN
