The Fairy Ring ~

OH, have you seen the fairies dance

Upon a Summer’s night?

And watched the gnomes and pixies prance

Whene’er the moon is bright?

‘Tis splendid fun to see them run As soon as it grows light..

One evening sister May and I Went out soon after ten;

The moon hung like a ball on high

Above the fairy glen,

And round and round upon the ground

Danced fays and elfin men.

And there, at dawn, they leave behind

A ring of toadstools wee

(Where they have danced you’ll always find This mark for folks to see).

Then off they fly into the sky

Just as the clock strikes three.
