Dance of the Wild Faeries

I wandered alone to the forest one night
 Led by a music strange to hear
 And followed the glow of a shimmering light
 That seemed to grow distant as I grew near
 The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
 But winter was everywhere clear to see
 The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
 Beckoned me closer and said to me
 "A clearing close in the forest you'll find
 A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball
 If you close your eyes and you open your mind
 The veil disappears and you'll see it all"
 Come and play as the wild fairies play
 In a magical circle, a fairy ring
 You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
 Where the vision is bright as spring
 Come and dance the wild fairy dance
 Spin in a circle as fast as light
 Once you begin, you are caught in a trance
 And the world can grow old in a single night
 When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
 All memory faded and I could see
 That a mushroom circle of red and white
 And myriad fairies surrounded me
 Beyond all space and beyond all time
 On gossamer wings did the fairies fly
 With a joy unknown to a music sublime
 The fairies danced, and there danced I
 Come and play as the wild fairies play
 In a magical circle, a fairy ring
 You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
 Where the vision is bright as spring
 Come and dance the wild fairy dance
 Spin in a circle as fast as light
 Once you begin, you are caught in a trance
 And the world can grow old in a single night
 "Those who seek us surely find us
 See the trail we leave behind us
 Some bewildered, some enlightened
 Some are brave, some are frightened
 Are we kind or are we vicious?
 Nectar poison or delicious?
 That, my sweet, you will discover
 Fairy foe or fairy lover"
 Come and play as the wild fairies play
 In a magical circle, a fairy ring
 You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
 Where the vision is bright as spring
 Come and dance the wild fairy dance
 Spin in a circle as fast as light
 Once you begin, you are caught in a trance
 And the world can grow old in a single night
 I wandered alone to the forest one night
 Led by a music strange and clear
 If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
 And the veils are thin, you will find me here
 If the veils are thin, you will find me here
