THE LITTLE MEN

Would you see the little men

Coming down a moonlit glen?-

Gnome and elf and woodland sprite,

Skipping, hopping, never stopping,

Stumbling, grumbling, tumbling, mumbling,

Dancing, prancing, singing, swinging-

Coats of red and coats of brown,

Put on straight or upside down

Outside in or inside out,

Some with sleeves and some without,

Rustling, bustling, stomping, romping,

Strumming, humming, hear them coming

You will see the Little Men

If it be a Fairy glen.
