No Fairies?
No Fairies?
They say there are no fairies,
But they surely cannot know
Of the revelry at sunset,
When the goblins dancing go
With a whirling and a twirling
To the fairy music low.
Oh, I know, for I have seen them,
Though they thought they were alone.
I was very still and quiet
By a mossy-covered stone.
From the roses and the hedges
And the hollyhocks they came—
Well, perhaps you don't believe me,
But I saw them just the same.
