Real Fairies
previous post
Real fairies cannot be seen,
They are not meant for mortal eyes,
They play and work in gardens fair,
Where life is free without a care,
Real fairies cannot be seen.
Real fairies cannot be seen,
Their deeds are modest, like the stars,
They help to scent the petalled flowers,
And shelter them from summer showers,
Real fairies cannot be seen.
Real fairies cannot be seen,
Their lives are one long happiness,
They help the droning worker bees,
They tend the movements of the breeze,
Real fairies cannot be seen.
