Little Summer Faerie Homepage

Out in the yard where the night dogs roam
There once fell a twig from the old oak grove
Not a very big one
Really, very small
Only just the size of a child’s hand is all.
Down came the winter rains, oh how they fell
Splashing on the twig all alone in the dell
Then came the spring and how the flowers bloomed
Chrysanthemums and daisies in the good afternoons
Up came the bright red sunflower very pretty
But it dropped one leaf, which bounded off a kitty
The warm breeze carried it around in the air
Till it landed on the little twig lying over there
Night moon passed and the magic came along
And nursed the dainty leaf and the twig till dawn
Together they arose in the morning, two as one
Sweet little faerie, that’s how she was born
Away with the winter and away with the storms
Little summer faerie, slight in her form.
