Joyous it is with the fairy crew
    To share the feast so daintily spread—
To quaff the honied and rainbowed dew,
    And sip the perfume from roses shed.

Oh! when will the twilight hour arrive,
    With its mystic sounds and its mystic sights—
And who in this dull cold world would live,
    When fairy-land offers such rare delights?
