Subject(s): Children; Fantasy; Happiness; Childhood; Joy; Delight


She is sweet and very pensive, so
Sensitive—with keen imagination;
Childhood to her is fairy-land.
Gaily colored fantasies—music—dreams—
In the song of birds comes a love to her;
The beauty of the flowers—rare perfume
Wafted up to her, a living soul
Responding to one so sweet and so still;
Joyous ecstasy in the books she reads
And music—how it seems to touch her soul,
So deeply—divinely, and thrills and charms
The pages that she reads.
She dwells alone, a thing apart, far from
The common-place of those around her, for
It is only of this world that sorrows
Come to her—for in her own, she is care-
Free and happy all the day long, and
In the mystic allurement of it all
Knows only the beautiful, wonderful,
Land of fairy-lore!
