Through fairy green of willows old, Aslant the stately, virgin, cold Form of the sycamore, Where poplars laugh, where beeches pray, Where breezes sigh, where streamlets sing, And birds are ever caroling, One morn, I saw a sunbeam stray; This single, holy, radiant ray On the wide earth had lost its way, Escaped through Heaven's half-open door.

From Project Gutenberg

All the earth is fairy green, And the sunlight filmy gold, Full of ecstasies unseen, Full of mysteries untold.

From Project Gutenberg

With a soúth-wésterly wínd blústering, with a tide rolls    reels Of crumbling, fore-foundering, thundering all-surfy seas    in; seen Únderneath, their glassy barrel, of a fairy green.
