A SMILE A DAY
- FAIRIES
Share
Fairy
Rings
Elfins, gnomes and
fairies dance In the moonlit wood, You might
see them just by chance - Catch them if you
could!
Out they trip at set of sun And
shake their sparkling wings, Then they dance
there just for fun Round the Fairy
Rings.

Hart
Fairies
But only for the children who believe in
them!
"Fairies! What are they ?"
- Somebody sings - "Are they dainty creatures
with gauzy wings, All night they dance in a
merry band In a beautiful place called
Fairyland."
"Fairies ! What are they ?" -
Somebody sings - "They are dear, kind hearted,
mischievous
things That fly round our beds when the white
moon gleams And under our pillow they stuff
sweet dreams !"
" Fairies ! What do they do
then ?" - She sings - They hover around us on
gossamer wings, They flit to the nursery when
we're in bed And tidy our books, or our toys
instead."
" Fairies ! What are they ?" -
Somebody sings - "Invisible, graceful and
wonderful things; If, at night, you sit by the
fire's red glow You will hear the call of the
elves, you know."
"Fairies ! What else do
they do ?" - She cries - "They make us
happy, they make us wise, And no one in all the
wide world through Knows half of the wonderful
things they do !"
THE WISE
ELF'S
SONG TO JUNE
Now
little elves don't run away Before my song I've
sung, Just listen now to what I say And don't
forget you're young !
Please help the frogs
that in the sun Get tangled in the reeds, For
everything and everyone Do good and kindly
deeds.
And help the little birds that oft Come tumbling from their
nest, And clamber with them up aloft And put
them back to rest.
And when it's getting
nearly light Just linger ere you pass To tidy
up the cobwebs bright From off the dewy
grass.
And when the white-tailed rabbits
there At twilight chase and run, Just give
them warning to BEWARE ! If you have heard a
gun.
Now if you follow all I say And do
your best for
me,
And help each other and
obey,
What pattern Elves you'll be !
The
last of our little rhymes from Margery
Hart Weren't they lovely. We shall have some
more later in the spring.
