THE DREAM FAIRY

A little fairy comes at night,
Her eyes are blue, her hair is brown’
with silver spots upon her wings,
And from the moon she flutters down.

She has a little silver wand,
And when a good child goes to bed
She waves her wand from right to left
And makes a circle round her head,

And then it dreams of pleasant things,
Of fountains filled with fairy fish,
And trees that bear delicious fruit,
And bow their branches at a wish;

Of arbours filled with dainty scents
From lovely flowers that never fade,
Bright ‘flies that flitter in the sun,
And glow-worms shining in the shade;

And talking birds with gifted tongues
For singing songs and telling tales,
And pretty dwarfs to show the way
Through the fairy hills and fairy dales.

Our First Title

Our first title will be Thomas Hood's THE PLEA OF THE MIDSUMMER FAIRIES AND OTHER FAIRY POEMS.  Thomas Hood is one of those great 19th. century poets who somehow got lost in the mists of time.  His fairy poetry is particularly enchanting.  This eBook will be lavishly illustrated, mostly by Warwick Goble, who did an illustration of the title poem in the early 20th century. Stay tuned for excerpts from the book and buying information.
