THE FAIRIES.
Blind folk see the fairies 0 better far than we, Who miss the shining of their wings Because our eyes are filled with things We do not wish to see. They nßed not seek enchantment From solemn printed books, For all about them as they go The fairies flutter to and fro smiling, friendly looks.
Deaf folks hear the fairies, However soft their song; 'Tis we who lose the honey sound Amid the clamour all around That beats the whole day long. But they with gentle faces Sit quietly apart; What room have they for sorrowing While fairy minstrels'sit and sing Close to their listening heart ?
