Under the shadow of the trees We sat together, you and I; Our hearts were sweetly ill at ease Under the shadow of the trees. In the green circle of the grass We saw the fairies passing by; The wake, the fairy wake it was Upon the circle of green grass. And softly with their fairy chain They wove a circle round about, And round our hearts; ah, not in vain They bound us with their fairy chain! With shadowy bonds they bound us fast, They wove their circle in and out; Ah, Celeste, when the fairies passed, With what strong bonds they bound us fast! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO E.
