WIND FAIRIES.
The little wind-fairies were out to-day, .Making such a commotion; They lodo on little white horses, Far away over the ocean. They raced about on the sandy shore, And tossed the boats out at sea; Went laughing and whistling everywhere, .As merry as merry could be. They snatched our hats and ru'llcd our hair And shrieked as they scampered away To pull and to push at the fisherman's boat. That lies down there in the bay. They chased little seagulls away from the sea, And thought 'twas the greatest fun; For they never once stopped their impish tricks, 'Till they rent to bed with the sun. —Edyth Bavin.
