Over hill, over dale, br Thorough bush, thorough brier, br Over park, over pale, br Thorough flood, thorough fire! br I do wander everywhere, br Swifter than the moon's sphere; br And I serve the Fairy Queen, br To dew her orbs upon the green; br The cowslips tall her pensioners be; br In their gold coats spots you see; br Those be rubies, fairy favours; br In those freckles live their savours; br I must go seek some dewdrops here, br And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
