BELIEVE IN FAIRIES
There are hundreds and hundreds of fairies, So dainty and graceful and small; They live in their snug little houses, Just over the garden wall.
Then there are pixies and goblins, Who live in gay Fairyland— Sometimes if you’re carefully listening You can hear their fairy band!
They have midnight feasts in the moonlight (Their tables are toadstools pink 1) But they’re always gone in the morning— By day they are frightened, I think.
Yes, I believe in fairies, Because I have heard them sing; And'sometimes I’ve glimpsed in the evening The gauze of a fairy wing 1 —Cousin Mary O’Brien (11), Haldane-Tokanui R.D.
