A grassy meadow ‘neath virgin moon
Mist softens and blurs this secret place
A magical sight for those in tune
To Elfish tricks that folklore trace
Ancient is the faerie road
Hidden by time and tangled hedge
Laughing maidens from their abode
Skip to dance a joyful pledge
Bare feet skip through waving stems
Dresses flap round smooth pale thigh
Dew drops shine upon their hems
As pollen flicks into the sky
Bats pour out from darkened tower
As bells stir from their sleepy trance
Midnight calls up all its power
The circle of Faeries begin their dance
Can beauty be more greater seen
Than this such veiled clandestine show
Those graceful figures so tall and lean
That dance beneath the moonbeam’s glow
Their fingers linked, the ring complete
They frolic in a silvery whirl
The witching hour brings music sweet
Such magic that doth now unfurl
Dawn brings mornings golden crown
As daytime’s creatures wake to sing
Bare feet leave a circle brown
The mysterious enchanted faerie ring
