FAIRIES AGAIN by HILDA CONKLING

First Line: FAIRIES DANCING IN THE WOODS AT NIGHT
Last Line: TO KEEP THEM WARM!

FAIRIES dancing in the woods at night
Make me think of foreign places,
Of places unknown.
Fairies with sparkling crowns and dewy hands,
Sprinkle flowers and mosses to keep them fresh,
Talk to the birds to keep them cheery.
Once a bird came home
And found a fairy asleep in his nest,
Upon his baby eggs,
To keep them warm!
