For the joys that my love would bring;
O, up the slope of his life-long hope,
Guide the feet of my royal king!
"SWEET FAIRIES FROM THE ISLES OF SONG."
Sweet fairies from the isles of song,
Bewitching choirs from music land,
The pleasures of your wondrous band
Once wooed me from the ways of wrong;
Once won my heart with fond caress
To sacred vales of summer glees,
