The Child and the Faeries

The woods are full of faeries!
The trees are all alive;
The river overflows with them,
See how they dip and dive!
What funny little fellows!
What dainty little dears!
They dance and leap, and prance and peep,
And utter fairy cheers!
THE LIGHT-HEARTED FAIRY
Oh, who is so merry, so merry heigh ho!
As the light-hearted fairy? heigh ho, Heigh ho!
He dances and sings
To the sound of his wings
With a hey and a heigh and a ho!
Oh, who is so merry, so airy, heigh ho!
As the light-headed fairy? heigh ho, Heigh ho!
His nectar he sips
From the primrose's' lips
With a hey and a heigh and a ho!
Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh ho!
As the light-footed fairy? heigh ho!
Heigh ho!
The night in his noon
And his sun is the moon
With a hey and a heigh and a ho!

I'd like to tame a fairy,
To keep it on a shelf,
And dress its little self.
I'd teach it pretty manners,
It always should say "please",
And then you know I'd make it sew,
And curtsey with its knees!
