THE LITTLE MEN
Would you see the little men
Coming down a moonlit glen?-
Gnome and elf and woodland sprite,
Skipping, hopping, never stopping,
Stumbling, grumbling, tumbling, mumbling,
Dancing, prancing, singing, swinging-
Coats of red and coats of brown,
Put on straight or upside down
Outside in or inside out,
Some with sleeves and some without,
Rustling, bustling, stomping, romping,
Strumming, humming, hear them coming
You will see the Little Men
If it be a Fairy glen.
