THE WODDSY ONES, by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN Poet's Biography
First Line: Hear them creeping, creeping, creeping
Last Line: And I drift away to nothing all too soon!
Subject(s): Fairies; Elves
First Line: Hear them creeping, creeping, creeping
Last Line: And I drift away to nothing all too soon!
Subject(s): Fairies; Elves
HEAR them creeping, creeping, creeping, through the mosses and the brush,
The Woodsy Ones whom I can never see!
Now they snap a twig and falter, now they laugh and whisper "Hush!"
As they dodge their little heads behind a tree.
Hear them dancing, dancing, dancing, in the grass when I'm abed,
And singing at my window in the moon!
Oh, the fairy music bubbles in my dizzy little head,
And I drift away to Nothing all too soon!
