Fairy Wine

You from east and I from west Both stumbled into Fairyland; And there we wandered, blithe and blest, Through elfin mazes, hand in hand.

They poured a cup of magic brew And laid enchantment on our eyes; I thought I read the heart of you, You saw me in a fairy guise.

Out of the wonder-hill we came; We blinked and stammered, wild and wan. For you and I were just the same, But lo! the witchery was gone!

So, go your way and I’ll go mine, You to the west, I to the east. But ah, how sweet the fairy wine We sipped together at the feast!
