COBWEBS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: LITTLE FAIRY KERCHIEFS
Last Line: WHAT WOULD THE FAIRIES DO?
Subject(s): COBWEBS;

Little fairy kerchiefs
Spread on the grass to dry;
Little fairy hammocks
Swinging in branches high.

Funny fairy cables
Stretched through the airy sea;
Funny fairy bridges
Reaching from tree to tree.

Dainty fairy ladders
Scaling the garden wall,
Dainty net to catch them, --
If fairies ever fall!

Busy fairy workman,
Spider of gorgeous hue,
Should I steal your glue-pot,
What would the fairies do?
