THE WATER LILY FAIRY, by                    
First Line: There's an alabaster palace
Last Line: And blossoms of delight.
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilies


There's an alabaster palace
Where a tiny fairy dwells,
In a golden, scented throne room,
All hung with silver bells
Of dew, that tinkle softly
As vespers, in the dells.

The brilliant, golden sunshine,
Smiles on this tiny fay,
The dragonflies caress her,
Then swiftly flit away;
And silken mists enfold her,
At the closing of the day.

The moon beams on her palace
And with its magic light,
Silvers all its perfumed walls
And gently, through the night,
Sends her dreams of elves and fays
And blossoms of delight.
