"Come away, Elves! while the dew is sweet,

Come to the dingles where fairies meet;

Know that the lilies have spread their bells

O'er all the pools in our forest dells;

Stilly and lightly their vases rest

On the quivering sleep of the water's breast,

Catching the sunshine through the leaves that throw

To their scented bosoms an emerald glow;

And a star from the depths of each pearly cup,

A golden star, unto heav'n looks up,
