| With fairy wisdom cold | Q |
| Grow dim and a thought goes fluttering | O |
| In the hearts no longer old | Q |

| And then the dream forsakes them | R |
| And sighing they turn anew | D |
| As the whispering music takes them | R |
| To the dance of the elfin crew | D |

| O many a thrush and a blackbird | S |
| Would fall to the dewy ground | L |
| And pine away in silence | T |
| For envy of such a sound | L |
| - | |
| So the night through | D |
| In our sad pleasure | E |
| We dance to many a measure | E |
| That earth never knew | D |
