Now it is the time of night That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide. And we fairies, that do run By the triple Hecate's team, From the presence of the sun, Following darkness like a dream, Now are frolic.

Seite 75 - Tis not for nothing that we life pursue ; It pays our hopes with something still that's new : Each day's a mistress, unenjoyed before ; Like travellers, we're pleased with seeing more. Did you but know what joys your way attend, You would not hurry to your journey's end.
