The spirit of fire, The sylph of the air, The gnome of the earth, The dangerous wave-dwelling fay; All madly desire, The opal-stone rare, Which at its birth, They gifted with rainbow hues gay.
Earth-gnome caressed it, Sylph did enfold it, Wave-nymph doth chain it, In spite of the flame spirit's desire; Two have possessed it, Now doth one hold it, Yet will he gain it, The terrible spirit of fire.
