In the Midst of Fairies/Page2

Listen around to hear the sound
of a sweet tinkle,
of a small sprinkle filled with love and faerie dust,
listen we must!!
Look around to see a glow around you and me,
Sure signs we are fae, to this very day

And our kind, although hard to find,
...are very kind!!
Pick a flower, surely you feel some power
in knowing they are real,
in your soul you must feel
Peace and content to an unhuman extent.

Finding Fairies
By Marjorie Barrows

When the winds of March are wakening
The crocuses and crickets,
Did you ever find a fairy near
Some budding little thickets,
A-straightening her golden wings and
combing out her hair?

She's there!
And when she sees you creeping up
To get a closer peek
She tumbles through the daffodils,
A-playing hide and seek,
And creeps into the tulips till
You can't find where she's hid?
Mine did!

Have you ever, ever come across
A little toadstool elf
A-reading by a firefly lamp
And laughing to himself,
Or a saucy fairy queen upon
Her favorite dragonfly?
So've I!

It's fun to see a fairy flutter
Off a catkin boat,
And wrap her fairy baby in
A pussy willow coat;
Oh, don't you love the fairies
And their fairy babies, too? I do!

The music is Velvet and Diamonds
