LITTLE SISTER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "little sister, whom the fay" Last Line: That it full soon may succour thee Subject(s): Fairies; Elves | |||
Little sister, whom the Fay Hides away within his Doon, Deep below yon tufted fern, Oh, list and learn my magic tune! Long ago, when snared like thee By the Shee, my harp and I O'er them wove the slumber spell, Warbling well its lullaby. Till with dreamy smiles they sank, Rank on rank before the strain; Then I rose from out the rath And found my path to earth again. Little sister, to my woe, Hid below among the Shee, List, and learn my magic tune, That it full soon may succour thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
