Song - I'd Be A Fairy King.

Oh, I'd be a Fairy King,
With my vassals brave and bold;
        We'd hunt all day,
        Through the wildwood gay,
In our guise of green and gold;
And we'd lead such a merry, merry life,
That the silly, toiling bee,
        Would have no sweet
        In its dull retreat,
So rich as our frolic glee.
        I'd be a Fairy King,
            With my vassals brave and bold;
                    We'd hunt all day,
                    Through the wildwood gay,
            In our guise of green and gold.

At night, when the moon spake down,
With her bland and pensive tone,
        The fairest Queen
        That ever was seen
Would sit on my pearly throne;
And we'd lead such a merry, merry life,
That the stars would laugh in show'rs
        Of silver light,
        All the summer night,
To the airs of the passing Hours.
        I'd be a Fairy King,
            With my vassals brave and bold;
                    We'd hunt all day
                    Through the wildwood gay,
            In our guise of green and gold.

We'd talk with the dainty flow'rs,
And we'd chase the laughing brooks;
        My merry men,
        Through grove and glen,
Would search for the mossy nooks;
And we'd be such a merry, merry band,
Such a lively-hearted throng,
        That life would seem
        But a silvery dream
In the flowery Land of Song.
        I'd be a Fairy King,
            With my vassals brave and bold;
                We'd hunt all day,
                Through the wildwood gay,
            In our guise of green and gold.
