There are faeries bright of eye | A |
Who the wildflowers' warders are | B |
Ouphes that chase the firefly | A |
Elves that ride the shooting star | B |
Fays who in a cobweb lie | A |
Swinging on a moonbeam bar | B |
Or who harness bumblebees | C |
Grumbling on the clover leas | C |
To a blossom or a breeze | C |
That's their faery car | B |
If you care you too may see | C |
There are faeries Verily | A |
There are faeries | C |

II | A |

There are faeries I could swear | D |
I have seen them busy where | D |
Roses loose their scented hair | D |
In the moonlight weaving weaving | E |
- | |
Out of starlight and the dew | F |
Glinting gown and shimmering shoe | F |
Or within a glowworm lair | D |
From the dark earth slowly heaving | E |
Mushrooms whiter than the moon | G |
On whose tops they sit and croon | G |
With their grig like mandolins | C |
To fair faery ladykins | C |
Leaning from the windowsill | A |
Of a rose or daffodil | A |
Listening to their serenade | H |
All of cricket music made | H |
Follow me oh follow me | C |
Ho away to Faerie | D |
Where your eyes like mine may see | C |
There are faeries Verily | A |
There are faeries | C |
- | |
III | A |
- | |
There are faeries Elves that swing | E |
In a wild and rainbow ring | E |
Through the air or mount the wing | E |
Of a bat to courier news | C |
To the faery King and Queen | I |
Fays who stretch the gossamers | C |
On which twilight hangs the dews | C |
- | |
Who within the moonlight sheen | I |
Whisper dimly in the ears | C |
Of the flowers words so sweet | J |
That their hearts are turned to musk | K |
And to honey things that beat | J |
In their veins of gold and blue | A |
Ouphes that shepherd moths of dusk | K |
Soft of wing and gray of hue | A |
Forth to pasture on the dew | A |
- | |
IV | - |
- | |
There are faeries verily | A |
Verily | A |
For the old owl in the tree | C |
Hollow tree | C |
He who maketh melody | C |
For them tripping merrily | C |
Told it me | C |
There are faeries Verily | C |
There are faeries | C |
