THE EERIE-DEARIE PEOPLE.
(By Marlon Hogg; age 14.) Nurse lias tucked me up in bed and left me in the dark, I'm not the least bit lonely—there are fairy voices—hark! Airy-fairy voices, sweet and crystallight, For the Eerie-dearie people are abroad to-night. I hear them through the window as they climb the willow tree, The bluebells hear their laughter and ring in harmony, I hear a thousand voices, sweet and crystal-light, For the Eeerie-dearie people are abroad to-night. Nurse says I should be sleeping, while I'm lying here awake, She's - never heard the music that the little people make— Airy-fairy voices, sweet and crystallight, For the Eerie-dearie people are abroad to-night. —Original.
