EARLY SUMMER.
THE FAIRIES.Oh, brightly, brightly go the days,And merrily we sing,And mosses, ferns, and flowers fairAll welcome in the Spring!The earth is clad in laughing green,The snow has passed away,The sun shines forth with beaming faceAnd bids us dance and play!We live in nooks of moss and fern,Where grows the blue hare-bell,Which rings whene’er a gentle breezeWafts softly down our dell.We ride on graceful dragon-flies,With gauzy wings of light;And glow-worms lie in readinessTo shine for us at night.We go to children in their sleep,And with our fairy artWe spin sweet dreams of fairylandTo rest each tired heart!So gaily, gaily run the days,And so we dance and sing,And so the happy flowers bloomAnd merrily they ring!A.
