MOON-FAIRIES, by                    
First Line: Out in the garden and over the lawn
Last Line: Will sparkle the fairy-dropt dew.
Subject(s): Fairies; Yale University; Elves


OUT in the garden and over the lawn --
Everywhere, everywhere dancing;
Slipping and gliding between the tall elms,
Fair on the rivulet glancing --
See where the moon-fairies play in the dark --
Play till the dawning of day,
Then over the meadows, and over the hills,
Silently vanish away!

They say every moon-fairy drops from her hair
A diamond come from the sky;
And when with the dawning the dancers depart,
There on the grass they will lie.
The sun will cast glory upon them at last;
The blue-birds will carol anew;
And bright in the garden, and fresh on the lawn,
Will sparkle the fairy-dropt dew.
