2. In a fairy boat  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
In a fairy boat on a fairy sea, 
  All amber and gold, I used to float
When never a wind rose stormily;
        In a fairy boat.

And sweet and sad like a white dove's note
  Strange voices wakened my soul to glee 
And soft scents strayed from the violets' throat.

In a fairy boat I shall no more be, 
  For gloom has fallen on creek and moat,
And my tired soul's too heavy to flee
        In a fairy boat.
