Lyrics:

Twas a longing came into my heart
I could not sense a name
It tore me from my shattered heart
Then swift to nature came

The beauty of the soft green hills
The singing of the trees
They left my soul more empty still
I could not find a peace
I could not find a peace

I saw the shining fairy ring
Myself within its heart
And I found a lonely comfort
Though its magic touched me now
Its magic touched me now

I wandered by a running stream
And touched its stones so deep
Then I sat underneath a great old tree
Then drifted into sleep

It lifted me with gentle powers
And took me far away
When I awoke the darkest night
Had chased away the deep

I lay within a fairy ring
Myself within its heart
And I found a lonely comfort
Yet the magic touched me not
The magic touched me not

My mind a whirl of clouded dreams
I knew not where I dwelled
Yet in that shining fairy ring
A calming word I felt

Oh thrice I called unto the Fay
And thrice about this turned
I fell upon living earth
And that moment learned

For there that night I felt a touch
And in that moment knew
The fairy magic had rebuilt
My hearts desire true

For in that touch I felt such love
And in that moment knew
That I did touch a perfect love
My heart's desire true
My heart's desire true

I lay within a fairy ring
Myself within its heart
And I found a loving comfort there
The love that I had sought
The love that I had sought

My words at once are stilled within
My heart has felt so much
I oft returned to the magic ring
To feel the fairy touch

Oh now when 'ere the moon is full
I bid my cares depart
And kneel within the shining ring
To touch the fairies heart
To touch the fairies heart
To touch the fairies heart
