Of dimensions not gigantic,
Though the moonshine mostly keep us,
Oft in orchards frisk and peep us.

[tinkerbell]

You could go on a boat,
Through sparkling waters,
Made out of the shell of a tortoise.
Sit in the ring where the fairies all sing,
Drink, dance, fairy fling.
Diddle on the fiddle, play fairy in the middle,
Sparkle shine, drink buttercup wine.
T'is not far, you must believe,
Just follow the voice from within.

In between places, in between times.
Midnight, noon, wood sorrel and toads,
Caves in the hillside, bends in the roads.

Quite simply hard to see at all

Babies Breath pillows at their heads.
