The Fairies + 

“Up the airy mountain, + 

Down the rushy glen, + 

We daren’t go a-hunting + 

For fear of little men. + 

Wee folk, good folk, + 

Trooping altogether; + 

Green jacket, red cap, + 

And white owl’s feather. + 

They stole little Bridget + 

For seven years long; + 

When she came down again + 

Her friends were all gone. + 

They took her lightly back + 

Between the day and morrow; + 

They thought that she was fast asleep, + 

But she was dead with sorrow.” + 
