No. 29 - Extra Song - Nan - "Pixies"
Nan: | Down along the valley by the willows and the stream There's a little fairy that I know. Watch across the meadows for a tiny pixy gleam, That is where she's flying to and fro, Nearly ev'ry night I can see her light Flicker in the shadows ev'rywhere; After her I race, Just to see her face, But there isn't any fairy there! When I try to catch my little fairy, She's too quick and wary, Just a figure airy! On her wings that oh! so gaily glitter, She will always flitter on! She's gone! |
I am just as fond of fun as any little lass; Why should fairies always dance alone? I should like to learn the way to flit above the grass, With a pixy lantern of my own. Once, you know, I thought I should her have caught, Creeping up before she was aware! Then I made a leap; Oh, the pond was deep! But there wasn't any fairy there! When I try to catch my little fairy, She's too quick and wary, Just a figure airy! On her wings that oh! so gaily glitter, She will always flitter on! She's gone! |
