Moon Fairy

A little fairy comes at night
Her eyes are blue, her hair is brown
With silver spots upon her wings
And from the moon she flutters down.

She has a little silver wand
And when a good child goes to bed
She waves her wand from right to left
And makes a circle round her head.

And then it dreams of pleasant things
Of fountains filled with tiny fish
And trees that bear delicious fruit
And bow their branches at a wish.

Of arbors filled with dainty scents
From lovely flowers that never fade
Bright flies that flitter in the sun
And glow worms shining in the shade.

And talking birds with figted tongues
For singing songs and telling tales
And pretty dwarfs to show the way
Through fairy hills and fairy dales.

Sleep Song 

How far and wide the fairies fly,
On bright and golden wings.
But when they settle down to sleep,
A gentle song they sing.

Sweet Queen of Night
Soft silver stars
We're glad you are so near.
We seek of beds,
We rest our heads,
Without a moments fear.

On thistledown,
In hidden nooks,
We watch the waning light.
The joys of sleep
Upon us creep.
We wish you all goodnight!

The Night Land, The Fairy Land

I come from a flower bud, that shapes my wing
I come when the moon is falling and the sun still isn't seen
My voice is like a whisper but still beautiful and sweet
I sing my songs of ancient lands that no one else has seen
I dance around the tips of trees and fly off into the night
And as I tire I sit upon a lily flower
And have dew drops as my drink
As the sun starts to shine through the clouds of the eastern land
I fly back to my world of magic and make believe
The warm rays hit the ground and another day begins
I lay sleeping waiting for night once more
So I can go out and play
In the land the humans keep captive during the day.
