ONE night in Fairyland, when all the court / Held carnival to welcome in the June, / And to the wind-harp's music, flying feet / Were dancing on the rose leaves night had strewn; / The naughty Puck crept up the castle stair, / And called the sleeping princes from their bed; / And with their royal pages following, / Away the tricksy little fairies sped.
Mounted on snowy night-moths, off they raced, / Startling the gnomes, asleep within the shade / Of gloomy forests, with their merry cries, / As at forbidden games all night they played.
