The Flowers By Robert Louis Stevenson
All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. Fairy places, fairy things, Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, Tiny trees for tiny dames-- These must all be fairy names! Tiny woods below whose boughs Shady fairies weave a house; Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, Where the braver fairies climb! Fair are grown-up people's trees, But the fairest woods are these; Where, if I were not so tall, I should live for good and all.

Some One by Walter de la Mare
Some one came a knocking At my wee, small door; Some one came knocking, I'm sure--sure--sure; I listened, I opened, I looked left and right, But
naught there was a stirring In the still dark night; Only busy beetle Tap-tapping in the wall, Only from the forest The screech-owl's call, Only the cricket whistling While the dewdrops fall So I know not who came knocking, At all, at all, at
all.
