English poem
Tennant's Anster Fair, XXII
by Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)
A moment and its lustre fell, But ere it met the billow blue, He caught within his crimson bell, A droplet of its sparkling dew— Joy to thee, Fay! thy task is done, Thy wings are pure, for the gem is won— Cheerly ply thy dripping oar, And haste away to the elfin shore.
