Notes:


The fairy folk and the wee elves dance in a circle.

Then it was that each elvish man

Felt such a lightness in his feet,

That, snatching the hand of the nearest fay,

Round they whisked in th e wildest dance,—

Oh! I wish, I wish you had been that way

To see them curvet and see them prance.

Bibbetybobble tumbled about

Jus like a fat old humble bee;

Floppytyfly you could hardly see,

He wet so fast; and Kickittygo,—

His legs like the spokes of a wheel rayed out;

And Rufflecumtuffle,—you never will know

How he danced, for I never can tell;

And oh! ’t was a wonderful sight for me;

  And if ever again

  The elvish men

With the fairies dance, you must go and see.

The children all laughed merrily over this and called each other by the names as well as they could, for some time. (p. 68)
