Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Fairies of the rain,
Dancing on the leaves and grasses,
Hear the murmur as it passes!
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Over and over again.
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Freshen ev'ry flower,
Jewels for the pansies' faces,
And the lily's drooping graces!
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Sweet is the scent of the shower.
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Tiny fairy things,
Are they really raindrops gliding,
Are they magic figures sliding?
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
All with a gleam on their wings.
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Through the golden grain,
Don't you hear the fairies singing?
Can you hear their blue bells ringing?
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter,
Fairies are born in the rain.
