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!

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!
