The Woods Are Full Of Fairies

by Hob Hill April 27, 2021
A night time drawing of a tree on a hillside with a magical fairy

The woods are full of fairies!
The trees are alive;
The river overflows with them,
See how they dip and dive!
What funny little fellows!
What dainty little dears!
They dance and leap, and prance and peep,
And utter fairy cheers!

I’d like to tame a fairy,
To keep it on a shelf;
To see it wash its little face,
And dress its little self,
I’d teach it pretty manners,
It always should say, “please”,
And then, you know, I’d make it sew,
And curtsy with its knees.

 The Evening Telegraph, 1935
