Full Lyrics
Ever gladsome fairy voices,
Wafted by the balmy breeze;
To your melody I’ve listened
In the whispering of the trees.
Softly sounds your silvery music
In the playful murmuring rill,
Sighing, sighing, never dying,
Sweetly murmuring, sighing still.
Tuneful ever fairy voices,
On my ear ye gently fall;
Bleating flocks and warbling songsters,
Ye have fairy voices all.
How I love the enchanting echoes
Gaily ringing through the glade,
Sounding, sounding, and resounding,
Lingering fondly till they fade.
Welcome ever fairy voices,
Chiming from the village bells;
Fairy voices from the seashore,
Fairy voices in the shells.
Life should ne’er be dull and dreary
With such music to rejoice,
Singing, ringing, ever bringing
Gladness with each fairy voice.
