The Song of The Kingcup Fairy

Golden King of marsh and swamp,

Reigning in your springtime pomp,

Hear the little elves you've found

Trespassing on royal ground:-

"Please, your Kingship, we were told

Of your shining cups of gold;

So we came here, just to see -

Not to rob your Majesty!"

Golden Kingcup, well I know

You will smile and let them go!

Yet let human folk beware

How they thieve and trespass there:

Kingcup-laden, they may lose

In the swamp their boots and shoes!
