| Oldfield | 
| Sunlight falling bright over the village garden walls | 
| Moonlight showers gold where living water falls | 
| People walk in splendour under trees hung in starlight | 
| Candlelight lawns sweep down to the river that ripples on pebbles of turquoise | 
| Fountains of golden light burst in quavers that float among the stars | 
| The tables are laid with fruits of the wine and cedar from Samarkand | 
| The golden gates are open wide for the people all over the land | 
| A thousand dancing chandeliers shine in my lady’s chamber | 
| My lord comes swaying through the hall with a goblet of shining amber | 
| Then nectar and brandy, wine and mead come flowing from shimmering springs | 
| They all menuet to a string quartet and the Marquis’s daughter shall sing | 
| Gentle maidens walking in the garden | 
| While they’r courted by the knights from the palace of love | 
| They are all dressed in white with flowers of palest colour | 
| They are all singing songs to the yellow moon above | 
| Come to the Ball my love, sip sweet ambrosia | 
| Tip in the forest Titania my love | 
| Would you like brandy wine? | 
| Shall we go now and dine? | 
| We’ll do the merry minuet till the yellow moon has set | 
| We shall dance through the midsummer night | 
| Come my pretty Oberon trip, trip, trip | 
| Come and sing a summer song trip, trip | 
| I know a bank where cowslips trip | 
| Whereon the wild thyme sits trip, trip | 
| Dance in the midsummer night | 
| Come my pretty puck and squeeze this magic flower | 
| In the eyes of lovers in the midnight hour | 
| This a flower of wonder is a magic seed | 
| When they shall awake lay heaven at their feet | 
| Would you like brandy wine? | 
| Shall we go now and dine? | 
| We’ll do the merry minuet till the yellow moon has set | 
| We shall dance through the midsummer night |
