| When dusk falls cool as a rained on rose | B |

| With the crescent moon the silver moon the curved | C |
| new moon in a space that glows | B |
| A turret window that grows alight | D |
| There is a path that my Fancy knows | B |
| A glimmering shimmering path of night | D |
| That far as the Land of Faery goes | B |

| Over the mountains into the meads | E |
| Where the firefly cities the glowworm cities the faery | F |
| cities are strung like beads | E |
| Each city a twinkling star | F |
| And I live a life of valorous deeds | E |
| And march with the Faery King to war | F |
| And ride with his knights on milk white steeds | E |

| Or it's there in the whirl of their life I sit | G |
| Or dance in their houses with starlight lit | G |
| Their blossom houses their flower houses their elfin | H |
| houses of fern leaves knit | G |
| With fronded spires and domes | I |
| And there it is that my lost dreams flit | G |
| And the ghost of my childhood smiling roams | I |
| With the faery children so dear to it | G |

| And it's there I hear that they all come true | F |
| The faery stories whatever they do | F |

| Of witch and wizard and gnome and fay | - |
| And prince and princess that wander through | F |
| The storybooks we have put away | - |
| The faerytales that we loved and knew | F |

| The face of Adventure lures you there | F |
| And the eyes of Danger bid you dare | F |
| While ever the bugles the silver bugles the far off | - |
| bugles of Elfland blare | F |
| The faery trumpets to battle blow | J |

| With your magic spear and enchanted mail | J |
| Braving the dragon in his den | K |

| Now that the monster is slain my bride ' | - |
| 'Back to the cities the firefly cities the glowworm | M |
| cities where we can hide | L |
| The beautiful cities of Faeryland | L |
| And the light of my eyes shall be your guide | L |
| The light of my eyes and my snow white hand | L |
| And there forever we two will abide ' | - |
