Dreams of a child

Fairy Dreams

One night when I was in my room
twas time to go to sleep
I heard a sound and looked around
to see what I could see

Outside my window sill I watched
beneath the moonlit night
Little funny fairies playing
it was such an awesome sight

They were tiny little people
with pointed funny ears
shoes that curled upon their feet
and aged beyond my years

Some had wings and flew around
while others laughed and joked
and some were very fat and green
and from their nose blew smoke

Some looked cute and friendly
and some looked very weird
and others sat and chanted
while some of them just jeered

To my surprise one did appear
upon my window sill
she sprinkled me with fairy dust
I thought that I'd be ill

"Don't be afraid, my dear sweet child,
There's nothing here to fear!
Come with me and have some fun
we'll laugh and dance and cheer!"

So there I was in fairy land
among the wee folk fairies
and as we played a wand was waved
and a bowl was filled with berries

I ate the berries sweet and blue
and watched the others play
they sang and laughed and played the flute
and danced the night away

When morning came and night had gone
I was a sleepy head
I found that I was all alone
upon my comfey bed.
