There are fairies at the bottom of our garden! It's not so very, very far away; You pass the gardener's shed and you just keep straight ahead - I do so hope they've really come to stay. There's a little wood, with moss in it and beetles, And a little stream that quietly runs through; You wouldn't think they'd dare to come merrymaking there -- Well, they can! There are fairies at the bottom of our garden! They often have a dance on summer nights; The butterflies and bees make a lovely little breeze, And the rabbits stand about and hold the lights. Did you know that they could sit upon the moonbeams And pick a little star to make a fan, And dance away up there in the middle of the air? Well, they can! There are fairies at the bottom of our garden! You cannot think how beautiful they are; They all stand up and sing and sing when the Fairy Queen and king Come gently floating down upon their car. The King is very proud and @3very@1 handsome; The Queen -- now can you guess who that could be? (She's a little girl all day, but at night she steals away) Well - it's @3me!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TUOL SLENG: POL POT'S PRISON by KAREN SWENSON MARRIAGE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE WANDERER: A ROCOCO STUDY (FIRST VERSION) by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS ROBIN REDBREAST by GEORGE WASHINGTON DOANE ADMONITION [TO A TRAVELLER] by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
