Fairy Tale |
| Child of the pure unclouded brow |
| And dreaming eyes of wonder! |
| Though time be fleet, and I and thou |
| Are half a life asunder |
| Thy loving smile will surely hail |
| The love-gift of a fairy-tale. |
| (x2) |
| I have not seen thy sunny face |
| Nor heard thy silver laughter: |
| No thought of me shall find a place |
| In thy young life’s hereafter |
| Enough that now thou wilt not fail |
| To listen to my fairy-tale. |
| (x2) |
| A tale begun in other days |
| When summer suns were glowing- |
| A simple chime, that served to time |
| The rhythm of our rowing- |
| Whose echoes live in memory yet |
| Though envious years would say 'forget.' |
| (x2) |
| Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread |
| With bitter tidings laden |
| Shall summon to unwelcome bed |
| A melancholy maiden! |
| We are but older children, dear |
| Who fret to find our bedtime near. |
| (x2) |
| Without, the frost, the blinding snow |
| The storm-wind's moody madness- |
| Within, the firelight’s ruddy glow |
| And childhood’s nest of gladness |
| The magic words shall hold thee fast: |
| Thou shalt not heed the raving blast. |
| (x2) |
| And, though the shadow of a sigh |
| May tremble through the story |
| For 'happy summer days' gone by |
| And vanish’d summer glory- |
| It shall not touch, with breath of bale |
| The pleasance, of our fairy-tale. |
| (x2) |
| Though time be fleet, and I and thou |
| Are half a life asunder |
| Thy loving smile will surely hail |
| The love-gift of a fairy-tale |
