THE FAIRY RING

Let us dance and let us sing,

Dancing in a merry ring;

We'll be fairies on the green,

Sporting round the Fairy Queen.

Like the seasons of the year,

Round we circle in a phere;

I'll be Summer, you'll be Spring;

Dancing in a fairy ring.

Spring and summer glide away,

Autumn comes with tresses gray,

Winter hand in hand with Spring,

Dancing in a fairy ring.

Faster, faster, round we go,

While our cheeks with roses glow,

Free as birds upon the wing,

Dancing in a fairy ring.
