First Line: They say there is a fairy in every streak'd tulip
Last Line: Unless there was a moon
Subject(s): Tulips


THEY say there is a fairy in every streak'd tulip.
I have rows and rows of them beside my door.
Hoop-la! Come out, Brownie,
And I will give you an emerald ear-ring!
You had better come out,
For to-morrow may be stormy,
And I could never bring myself to part with my emerald ear-rings
Unless there was a moon.
