The Fairy Child
For I am gone to the fairy people,
Make the most of that other child
Who prays with you by the village steeple
I am gone away to the woods and wild.
Lord Dunsanay
Fairy Song
All my life is joy and pleasure,
Sportive as my tuneful measure;
In the rose's cup I dwell,
Balmy sweets perfume my cell;
My food the crimson luscious cherry,
And the vine's luxurious berry;
The nectar of the dew is mine;
Nectar from the flowers divine.
And when I join the fairy band,
Lightly tripping hand in hand,
By the moonlight's quivering beam,
In concert with the dashing stream;
Then my music leads the dance,
When the gentle fays advance;
And oft my numbers on the green,
Lull to rest the fairly queen.
" All my life is joy and pleasure,
" Sportive as my airy measure."
Felicia Dorothea Browne-Hemans
(1793-1835)
~Ariel~
Artist: John Anster Fitzgerald (1823-1906)
And we fairies, that do run
By the triple Heacate's team
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic. Not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallowed house.
William Shakespeare,"A Midsummers Night's
Dream"
~Autumn~
Artist: John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)
Faery Song
Ah! woe is me! poor silver-wing!
That I must chant they lady's dirge,
And death to this fair haunt of spring,
Of melody, and streams of flowery verge --
Poor silver-wing! ah! woe is me!
That I must see
These blossoms snow upon thy lady's pall!
Go, pretty page! and in her ear
Whisper that the hour is near!
Softly tell her not to fear
Such calm Favonian burial!
Go, pretty page! and soothly tell --
The blossoms hang by a melting spell,
And fall they must, ere a star wink thrice
Upon her closed eyes,
That now in vain are weeping their last tears,
At sweet life leaving, and these arbours green --
Rich dowry from the Spirit of the Spheres.
Alas! poor queen!
John Keats (1795-1821)

Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny tree-tops. rose or rhyme,
Where the braver fairies climb!
