Once when it had rained all night	A
And all day the next day why	B
In our yard a lot of white	A
Dumpy toadstools grew close by	B
Our old peach tree some were high	B
Peak'd like half shut parasols	C
Others round and low like balls	C
Little hollow balls and I	B
Called my father to the tree	D
And he said 'I tell you what	E
Fairies have been here you see	D
This is just the kind of spot	F
Fairies love to live in Those	C
Are their houses I suppose	C
	-
II	B
	-
'Yes those surely are their huts	C
Built of moon and mist and rain	G
Such dim stuff as Elfland puts	C
In her buildings Come again	H
And like castles built in Spain	G
They are nowhere But to night	A
Sliding down the moon's slim light	A
Or snail straddled in a train	G
You may see the elves perhaps	C
Clad in gossamer garments come	I
Some in morning glory caps	C
And in tulip bonnets some	I
If you watch I have no doubt	J
You will see them all come out	J
	-
III	B
	-
'Long of leg as grasshoppers	C
Or as katydids oh ho	K
Here they'll sit the bachelors	C
By the spinsters row on row	K
Kissing when the moon is low	K
You may hear their kisses sound	L
Faint as raindrops on the ground	L
Dropped by flow'rs that overflow	K
Flow'rs whose heads the rain weighs down	M
Or perhaps to twinkling tunes	C
Tiny as their tiny town	M
See them dance wild rigadoons	C
Creaked by crickets singing too	N
Serenades as thin as dew	N

'Or hobgoblins here may rise	C
Snail faced spider legged you see	C
Eyed with glowworm glowing eyes	C
Lidless slits of flame Maybe	C
Gnarled of back and knobbed of knee	C
Tadpole paunched you'll see the gnomes	C
Waddle from their toadstool homes	C
While the frogs industriously	K
Twang their big bass violins	C
And the screech owl's bagpipes shriek	O
While their eyes like points of pins	C
Glitter great nosed beak to beak	O
Here you'll see them squat and blink	P
Till it'd freeze your blood I think '	-
	-
V	C
	-
Won't have any goblins here	Q
With their eyes like upright slits	C
Parrot nosed and flopped of ear	Q
And a grin that cracks and splits	C
Wide their faces never quits	C
Faces all one wart or wen	H
So I got a stick and then	H
Knocked those toadstools into bits	C
And my father said 'Well well	K
Now you've spoiled your only chance	C
It will never do to tell	K
To behold the fairies dance	C
And those grinning goblins too	N
Wonder what got into you '	-
