This is a fairy castle,
⁠This bubble light as air,
And if I blow it large enough,
⁠And use the greatest care,

The silver doors will open,
⁠So I can step inside;
And there I ’ll find a fairy prince,
⁠And I ’ll become his bride.

The rooms are all enchanted
⁠With sunbeams pink and gold,
And moonbeams, blue and silver,
⁠Their glittering scepters hold.

They ’ve gauzy wings like fire-flies,
⁠And dance, and sing, and play
With me, and with my fairy prince,
⁠Who ’ll do whate’er I say.

I’ll own the Spring of Happiness
⁠O’er which the castle grew,
The Fountain of Eternal Youth,
⁠And Beauty ever new.

But—a dragon guards the entrance,
⁠And when I draw too near,
He runs inside the castle,
⁠And makes it disappear.
