LITTLE fairy snow-flakes
Falling from the sky,
Where the stars in wonder
Watch the moon go by.
Dainty little favors
White as blossomy spray
Through the gray clouds sifted
From the Milky Way.
Sunbeams in a frolic
On an Autumn noon,
Stole some drops of water
From a still lagoon;
Up they bore them where the
Fairies come and go,
And the fairies made them
Into flakes of snow.
Up on high in elfin
Shops and smithies, sprites
With tiny mallets wrought them
Through the fairy nights.
When their work was finished
There came floating down
Fragile little pictures
Of a fairy town.
