Alternate Author Name(s): Newcastle, Duchess Of; Lucas, Margaret
Subject(s): Fairies
She on a dewy leaf doth bathe,
And as she sits the leaf doth wave;
There, like a new fall'n flake of snow
Doth her white limbs in beauty show.
Her garments fair her maids put on,
Made of the pure light from the sun.
