CHORUS OF FAIRIES.

GOLDEN, golden, Light unfolding, Busily, merrily, work and play, In flowery meadows,

And forest shadows, All the length of a Summer day! All the length of a Summer day! Sprightly, lightly,

Sing we rightly, Moments brightly hurry away; Fruit-tree blossoms, And roses’ bosoms,—

Clear blue sky of a Summer day! Dear blue sky of a Summer day! Springlets, brooklets, Greeny nooklets,

Hill and Valley, and salt sea-spray, Comrade rovers, Fairy lovers,— All the length of a Summer day

All the livelong Summer day!
