Fairyland
How madly all the glad birds sing!Exultingly and without cease;But O to dream, and rest and dream!And drift in harbors cool with peace.
My ship shall be of clover bloom,The tiny helm a blue flower near;The breeze will bear its rare perfume,And waft its sweetness to the air.
Through starry isles, a lily sea,Upon the poppy's glowing strand,My happy ship will carry meInto the gates of fairy-land.
