   Gold, shining gold the workmen saw
   Spread out upon their path
   Gold, shining gold in heaps they saw
   Inside the fairy rath.
   The workmen stood and gazed in awe,
   Like the sunset's golden rays,
   Here was gold, yes ! gold enough
   To last them all their days.

   By the fort 'neath the swaying trees,
   As their eyes did feast on the shining gold
   In the mystical evening breeze.
   Gather the gold, yes, the first thing to do
   Gather the gold and then.
   Oh ! the riches they'd have and all they would do
   No more they'd be poor working men.

   While their eyes did feast on the golden heap
   And rejoiced at the shining find,
   A crash and a smash caused the workmen all
   To turn and gaze behind.
   They saw not the cause of the ringing crash
   That echoed so loud and wild,
   The landscape lay bathed in evening sun
