HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED THE FAIRIES?

Have you watched the fairies when the rain is done

Spreading out their litting wings to dry them in the sun?

I have, I have! Isn't it fun?

Have you heard the fairies all among the limes

Singing little fairy tunes to little fairy rhymes?

I have, I have, lots and lots of times!

Have you seen the fairies dancing in the air

And dashing off behind the stars to tidy up their hair?

I have, I have: I've been there!
