No One

I am the fairy that leaps on the lawn; I leap in the moon till the moon be gone. I go in the glow at a pretty pace; The dew o' the grass be a mirror-face. My limbs are a-light and my body sings; My hands are as fleet as a sparrow's wings. I'm here! Now there! I cannot be caught! If any be faster his name be nought. But lighter and quicker, a flicker----me! And what is "I am" is never to see. I step in the night when the good folk sleep; The wings of a leap be the dreams they keep. I trip to the "fa-la" that no one hears; They waken, and oo! the dew-bright tears! "Fa-la, fa-la" and "fa-la" again; Follow me, "fa-la", wakening men! Now hush! Now still! The night's away! In again! In again! Night's away! But I flick so quick I never be here; Dawn again, dawn again, No One is here!
