'Ah, little fairy! a very short while,

Just once or twice, in a brief country stay,

I saw you; but when will your innocent smile

That I keep in my mem'ry have faded away?

For when, in the midst of my trouble and doubt,

I remember your face with its laughter and light,

It's as if on a sudden the sun had shone out,

And scattered the shadow, and made the world bright.'

CHARTREUSE.
