Fairest of the Faery Lyrics


Under trees evergreen I fell asleep,

Lull’d by a woodland reel

Wreathed in flowers of gold, sat atop the Cliffs of Ivory

There I found you waiting for me;

Sunset in your eyes you smiled to see the Moon

Whispering velvet to mine ear – a rhyme of love

Held my hand and evermore claimed my heart.

Encircled by attending Faery

Fairest still you stood beyond compare,

Bestowed a furtive ruby kiss

Then vanished like the sweet summer breeze…

Awakening lonesome in the forest weeping silence I entreated:

Come back beloved Faery-dream; come back to me!
