If You See A Faery Ring~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you see a faery ring In a field of grass, Very lightly step around, Tiptoe as you pass, Last night faeries froliced there~ And they're sleeping somewhere near. If you see a tiny faery Lying fast asleep Shut your eyes And run away, Do not stay to peek! Do not tell Or you'll break a faery spell."~~~~~~~~~~William Shakespeare~I'd Love To Be A Fairy's Child~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Children born of fairy stock Never need for shirt or frock, Never want for food or fire, Always get their heart's desire: Jingle pockets full of gold, Marry when they're seven years old. Every fairy child may keep Two strong ponies and ten sheep; All have houses, each his own, Built of brick or granite stone; They live on cherries, they run wild -- I'd love to be a fairy's child."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ROBERT GRAVES"Blind folk see the fairies. Oh, better far than we, Who miss the shining of their wings Because our eyes are filled with things We do not wish to see." ~Rose Fyleman"The wall is silence, the grass is sleep, Tall trees of peace their vigil keep, And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world." ~Ida OuthwaiteFaery Blessings~ Faery whispers in the ear at night, the sounds of harps fill them at light. A gentle touch on your nose, everything smells like a rose. One sprinkle of dust across your eyes, no misery to see, to make you cry. And when a kiss upon your lips, No evil word from them can slip. And if they choose to touch your heart, Love to you the world imparts. ~KS
Harps, flutes.
In FairylandThe fairy poet takes a sheet Of moonbeam, silver white; His ink is dew from daisies sweet, His pen a point of light.My love I know is fairer far Than his, (though she is fair,) And we should dwell where fairies are, For I could praiser her there.~JOYCE KILMERFaery poems.
