DANCE OF THE FAIRIES
THE WORLD OF MAKE-BELIEVE,
IS FANTASY TO A CHILD.
THE THOUGHT OF ELVES AND FARIES
CAN BRING ABOUT A SMILE.
FROM THREE YEARS OLD TO SEVEN,
THEIR MINDS ARE OPEN AND CLEAR
AFTER THAT, I HAVE TO SAY
THERE'S DOUBT AND DISBELIEF, I FEAR.
SO WHY NOT INDULGE IN FANTASY,
I REALLY SEE NO HARM,
AFTER ALL- SANTA AND THE BUNNY
WERE PART OF ALL THIS CHARM
I'M WAY TOO OLD
TO BELIEVE IN SUCH THINGS,
AND YET--FROM MY YOUTH,
I RECALL-FAIRY RINGS
AND HOW THEY DANCED
ON MOONLIT NIGHTS,
AND ELVES WOULD JOIN THEM,
TO OUR GREAT DELIGHT.
AND HOW THEY WOULD SIT
UPON BIG TOAD-STOOLS
TO PLAY THEIR MUSIC
ON FLUTES- SO COOL.
WITH FARIES FLYING ALL ABOUT,
IN A SECRET WORLD, ALL THEIR OWN.
IN TIME- THE CHILDREN
WILL SOON HAVE OUT-GROWN
BUT AS OLD AS THEY LIVE,
THEY WILL ALWAYS RECALL
THE WONDERS OF FANTASY-LAND,
BEST OF ALL.
