We sing you a story
A wonderful story
We sing you a story of Midsummer night
For all who would know of the dance of the fairies
For all who would seek for the rose of light
We gather the blossoms
The snow white blossoms
The rose red blossoms to twine in our hair
We sip of the honey
The golden honey
We sip of the honey so sweet and rare
♪
We go to the fountain
The sparkling fountain
We go to the fountain for water fair
The wind on the fountain
The sparkling fountain
Has steered the water that floweth fair
We taste of the water
The sparkling water
The living water that floweth fair
And there in the twilight the fairies are dancing
The fairies are dancing as light as air
♪
They lead to the garden
The Midsummer garden
They lead to the garden where roses bloom
The flowers are singing are swaying and singing
The flowers are singing with stars and with moon
And there is the mother the white robed mother
The mother of all that shines in light
She gives us a rose from her garland of roses
She gives us a rosebud so pure and white
And there is the mother the white robed mother
The mother of all that shines in light
She gives us a rose from her garland of roses
She gives us a rosebud so pure and white
Oh guard it forever the beautiful blossom
Oh guard it forever the rose
