To The Fairies They Draw Near
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The birds are fast asleep
When the lanterns hang from every post
The fairies leave the keep
They join their hands and sing their songs that nary a soul can hear
In the springtime when the earth is new
To the fairies they draw near
To the fairies they draw near
The lyrics to Disney's "To The Fairies They Draw Near" depict a magical and mystical moment in time when the fairies leave their hiding place to gather together and perform a secret ritual. The opening lines talk about the nighttime setting, when the moon rises and the birds are asleep. This is the perfect time for the fairies to gather and commence their activities. As the night continues along, lanterns hang from every post and the fairies come out from their keep. Once they are together, they join their hands and sing songs that can't be heard by anyone else.
The final line of the song is the most interesting as it speaks of the springtime when the earth is new, this indicates that the fairies are perhaps affiliated with the cycle of nature or the changing of the seasons. The lyrics also suggest that the fairies are mischievous and like to keep their activities a secret as they sing songs that nobody else can hear; this adds to their mysterious and magical nature.

When the moon comes up to the shine come face
As the moon rises and illuminates the night sky
The birds are fast asleep
All the birds are soundly sleeping
When the lanterns hang from every post
As lanterns have been lit and hung from the posts
The fairies leave the keep
The fairies depart from their hiding place
They join their hands and sing their songs that nary a soul can hear
The fairies hold hands and sing their melodies that only they can hear
In the springtime when the earth is new
During the rejuvenation of the earth in the spring
To the fairies they draw near
The fairies draw near and approach them
To the fairies they draw near
The song concludes with the repeated line, signifying the ongoing relationship between the fairies and the natural world
