The Fairy

Come hither my sparrows My little arrows If a tear or a smile Will a man beguile If an amorous delay Clouds a sunshiny day If the step of a foot t Smites the heart to its root Tis the marriage ring Makes each fairy a king

So a fairy sung From the leaves I sprung He leapd from the spray To flee away But in my hat caught t He soon shall be taught Let him laugh let him cry Hes my butterfly t For I've pulld out the Sting Of the marriage ring
