Summary: “Oho,” indeed.<br> -The Voice before the Void<br> “A Fairy Glee”<br> Eugene Field<br> From the land of murk and mist<br> Fairy folk are coming<br> To the mead the dew has kissed,<br> And they dance where’er they list<br> To the cricket’s thrumming.<br> Circling here and circling there,<br> Light as thought and free as air,<br> Hear them cry, “Oho, oho,”<br> As they round the rosey go.<br> Appleblossom, Summerdew,<br> Thistleblow, and Ganderfeather!<br> Join the airy fairy crew<br> Dancing on the sward together!<br> Till the cock on yonder steeple<br> Gives all faery lusty warning,<br> Sing and dance, my little people,—<br> Dance and sing “Oho” till morning!<br>
