Down in the glen
Language: English 
Down in the glen
Through the silence of the leaves,
  Listen!
You will hear,
Softly clear,
  Music,
And see glisten
  Silver wings.
  Something sings
Down in the glen.

Down in the glen
In the wonder of the night,
  Hearken!
By the cool silent pool,
Shadows, as they darken,
  See the gleam
  Of a dream
Down in the glen.

Down in the glen
Where the moonlight weaves a path,
  Follow -
You will see,
In ecstasy,
Fairies dancing in the hollow
  Of a tree,
  Merrily,
Down in the glen.

Confirmed with Katharine Adams, Light and Mist, Boston: The Cornhill Company, 1918, pages 19-20.
