Poem by George Darley

Fairy’s Song

I've been roaming! I've been roaming
Where the meadow dew is sweet,
And like a queen I'm coming
With its pearls upon my feet.

I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
O'er red rose and lily fair,
And like a sylph I'm coming
With their blossoms in my hair.

I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
Where the honeysuckle creeps,
And like a bee I'm coming
With its kisses on my lips.

I've been roaming! I've been roaming!
Over hill and over plain,
And like a bird I'm coming
To my bower back again! 

1. Robin’s Cross
2. Lenimina Laborum. 6. I'm a rover! I'm a rover
3. Lenimina Laborum. 42. On a Young Tree
4. Lenimina Laborum. 27. The Free-Booter
5. Lenimina Laborum. 10. Fair as the flower is, it will yet decay
