False as fair?

A butterfly's light back bestriding,
Queen bees to honeysuckles guiding,
Or in a swinging harebell riding,
Free from care?

Before Aurora's car you amble,

High in air;

Braid their hair;

When on the tumbling billows rolling,
Or on the smooth sands idly strolling,
Or in cool grottos they lie lolling,
You sport there.

You prepare;

Or dance with elves on brinks of fountains,
Mirth to share;

Now seen with lovelorn lilies weeping,

Now with a blushing rose-bud sleeping,
While fays from forth their chambers peeping,
Cry, "Oh, rare!"
