- THE fiddlers were scraping so cheerily, O,
- With a one, two, three, and a one, two, three,
- And the children were dancing so merrily, O,
- All under the shade of the Christmas-tree.
- O, bonny the fruit on its branches which
- grows!
- And the mistletoe bough from the ceiling hung!
- The fiddlers they rosined their squeaking
- bows,
- And the brave little lads their partners
- swung.
- Oh, the fiddlers they played such a merry tune,
- With a one, two, three, and a one, two, three,
- And the children they blossomed like roses
- in June,
- All under the boughs of the Christmas-tree.
- And the fiddlers were scraping so merrily, O,
- With a one, two, three, and
- a one, two, three;
- And the children were dancing so cheerily, O,
- All under the shade of the
- Christmas-tree—
- The girl-fairy in cobweb frock.
- When, all of a sudden, a fairyland crew
- Came whirling airily into the room,
- As light as the fluffy balls, they flew,
- Which fly from the purple thistle-bloom.
- There were little girl-fairies in cobweb frocks
- All spun by spiders from golden threads,
- With butterfly-wings and glistening locks,
- And wreaths of dewdrops around their heads!
- The Christmas Ball boy fairy
- There were little boy-fairies in jewelled coats
- Of pansy velvet, of cost untold,
- With chains of daisies around their throats,
- And their heads all powdered with lily-gold!
- The boy-fairy in jewelled coat.
- The fiddlers they laughed till
- they scarce could see,
- And then they fiddled so cheerily, O,
- And the fairies and children around the tree,
- They all went tripping so merrily, O.
- The fiddlers they boxed up their fiddles all;
- The fairies they silently flew away;
- But every child at the Christmas ball
- Had danced with a fairy first, they say.
- So they told their mothers—and did not you
- Ever have such a lovely time at your play,
- My boy and my girl, that it seemed quite true
- That you'd played with a fairy all the day?
