    (continued from previous page)
    There was mischief in his merry face
    A twinkle in his eye
    He hammered and sang with tiny voice
    And drank his mountain dew
    I laughed to think that he was caught at last
    But the fairy was laughing too.
    II
    As quick as thought I seized him by the neck
    "Your fairy purse" I cried
    "The purse" tis in her hand
    That lady by your side
    I turned to look the elf was gone
    Then what was I to do
    Oh I laughed to think what a fool I'd been
    But the fairy was laughing too.
