Fairy Dance

By

Samantha Ashton

As the thin mist settles,

On every blade of grass

The blackbird started singing

And the fairies begin their dance.

They creep out of all places

You wouldn’t think they’d be

Like crawling from a Toadstool

Or sneaking from a tree.

They gather in a circle

Fireflies as their light

And other animals join

As evening turns to night.

Frogs, snails and dormice

They sometimes ride upon,

Fairies, gnomes and brownies

They all come along.

As night creeps over,

The dark blue skies

The feast then begins

Of Thyme, Sage and Chives.

After the dancing,

The night grows weak,

And back to their houses

The Fairies creep.
