A lake and a fairy boat

To sail in the moonlight clear, —

And merrily we would float

From the dragons that watch us here!

Thy gown should be snow-white silk,

And strings of orient pearls,

Like gossamers dipped in milk,

Should twine with thy raven curls

Red rubies should deck thy hands,

And diamonds should be thy dower —

But Fairies have broke their wands,

And wishing has lost its power!
