THE RETURN OF THE FAIRY: 10. HER UNRELIABILITY IN THE MATTER OF NAMES, by HUMBERT WOLFE Poet's Biography First Line: Then as to her name, the pitiful Last Line: To have one at all. Subject(s): Fairies; Elves | ||||||||
THEN as to her name, the pitiful fact is, that, not being told of our usual practice, she let it be known that, for personal reasons, she preferred it to change with the change of the seasons. She was Lilac in May-time, Carnation in June, Aurora by day-time, Diana by moon. But in March and November, in rain or in squall, she didn't remember to have one at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
