FAIRY RING
Reading edition
I stepped within the fairy ring,
Where it was green, so green.
Then I heard the trill of a fairy bell,
And the song of the Fairy Queen.
The secret that she murmured me,
To the trill of the fairy bell,
Was sweet, so sweet you’d not believe,
If I should try to tell.
But step you too in the fairy ring,
And hold fast to my hand;
Then we may hear a lovelier thing,
And both will understand.
