No. 19 - Chorus and Solo Dance - "Moon-Fairies"
| Chorus: | Over the dome and steeple The moon is peeping, The light of love and romance! So come with us, moonlight people, For day is sleeping, And cannot see our dance! Moonlight is azure and white, Shadows are deep as the dead of night! Midnight is revelry's noon. We are the Masque of the merry Moon! White stars far over us wink, They won't tell, no matter what they think! Morning will come all too soon, So join the Masque of the merry Moon! Gather together, Birds of a feather — Can you discover Cloudlets that hover Up in the blue above? On each a hidden Cupid has ridden Hither to bless a lover! Ringing in air is Laughter and fairies, Joy is tonight our King! Swaying in dances Light as our fancies We are the moonlight fairies! Once in a life the door Of fairyland shows to mortals Visions of flowers, Palaces, towers, Under the magic portals! We have tonight, no more! So let us not hold the boon-light, Labour and sorrow Come back tomorrow — Joy only blooms in moonlight! While we are dancing Here in the glancing Moonlight tonight! |
