BALLADE OF FANCY FAIR, by                    
First Line: In april hours / its booths we knew
Last Line: In fancy fair!
Subject(s): Love; Nature


IN April hours
Its booths we knew
Uplift 'mid flowers
Untouched of rue.
'Twas then we drew
The magic ware
From tents of blue
At Fancy Fair!

Its kindly bowers
For lovers due,
From chilly showers
They kept us two;
Lest wetted through,
We'd ceased to care
For Cupid's brew
And Fancy Fair!

Still hath it dower
When life's askew,
A gentle power,
A kind ado,
For me and you
Who still may share
The rainbow view
Of Fancy Fair!

ENVOY

Princess, anew
We'll wander there,
For dreams are true
In Fancy Fair!
