'Twas a longing came into my heart, I could not sense the name It tore me from my sheltered hearth, and swift to nature came The beauty of the soft green hills, the singing of the trees They left my soul more empty still, I could not find a peace, I could not find a peace... I saw the shining Fairy Ring myself within it's Heart And I found a lonely comfort, Though its magic touched me not..... Its magic touched me not..... I wandered by a running stream, and touched its stones for strength Then I settled 'neath a great oak tree, and drifted into sleep It lifted me with gentle boughs, and took me far away When I awoke, the darkest night had chased away the day I lay within the Fairy Ring myself within it's Heart And I found a lonely comfort, yet The magic touched me not..... The magic touched me not..... My mind a whirl of clouded dreams, I knew not where I dwelt Yet in that shining Fairy Ring, a calming warmth I felt Oh thrice I called unto the Fey, and thrice about was turned I fell upon the living earth, and in that moment learned For there that night I felt a touch, and in that moment knew The Fairy magic had revealed my hearts desire true.... For in that touch I felt such love, and in that moment knew that I did touch a perfect love my hearts desire true ...my hearts desire true I lay within the Fairy Ring Myself within it's Heart And I found a lonely comfort, yet The love that I had sought My words and wants are stilled within My heart has filled so much I oft return to the magic ring To feel the fairy touch Oh now when ere the moon is full I bid my cares depart And kneel within the shining ring To touch the fairies heart To touch the fairies heart To touch the fairies heart
