216 Hear, oh, hear! From far and near
 * The music stealing, ting, ting, ting!

Fairy bells adown the dells
 * Are merrily pealing, ting, ting, ting!

Welcoming our Fairy King,
 * We ring, ring, ring.

See, oh, see! On every tree
 * What lamps are shining, ting, ting, ting!

They are eyes of fiery files
 * To light our dining, ting, ting, ting!

Welcoming our Fairy King
 * They swing, swing, swing.

Haste, oh haste, to take and taste
 * The dainties waiting, ting, ting, ting!

Honey-dew is stored——"
