A Happy New Year to Everyone at Zoomshare and may it be a good one for all.
Here is another little story poem from Seligor and
Diddily xxx of seligor's Castle and Diddily Dee Dot's
THE LOST SIXPENCE
I lost a
silver sixpence, a shining silver sixpence, I
know a fairy found it in the garden where we
play; I had it in my fingers, and I dropt it and
I lost it, It glittered in the grass, and
then it vanished clean away.
You know the
summer fairies, the watching ready fairies, They
love a silver sixpence that is shining like the
day; I really should not wonder if they
bowl it or they spin it For a hoop of light with
laughter in their lands of fairy play.
They
kept my pretty sixpence, my new and shining
sixpence, And I have no
money now for shopping things to pay; But the
little baby fairies they are glad they are
happy, For they have my
silver sixpence for their very own
today.
The Lost
Sixpence and Nets for Dreams; are two short
verses found in Kathleen Rich's Junior Reciters
Repertory they were written by Berwick Sayers,
and although myself and my sister looked for some
identity to this gentleman, we only found reference
to a W.C. Berwick Sayers. If anyone can help us, do
get in touch. as they are both very lovely little
verses.
NETS FOR
DREAMS
Where you go a walking on an autumn
morn Dewy-silver cobwebs all the little trees
adorn, And spiders in the middle are goblin
elves, they say, Waiting for the foolish flies
who wander from their way.
So the people
tell me, but I'd sooner think These are shining
nets the fairies fashion link by link Out of
threads of silver from the moon's stray
beams,
