VOL II

The Fairies
By
William Allingham

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owls feather!

Down the rocky shore
Some make their home,
They live on crispy pancakes
Of yellow tide foam;
some in reeds
Of the black mountain lake,
With frogs for their watch-dogs,
All night awake.

Boats Sail on the Rivers
By
Christina Rossetti

Boats Sail on the Rivers
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
as pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
and builds a road from earth to sky,
It's prettier far than these

 

Dream-Song
By
Walter de la Mare

Sunlight, moonlight,
Twilight, Starlight--
Gloaming at the close of day,
And an owl calling.
Cool dews falling
In a wood of oak and may.

Lantern-light, taper-light,
Torch-light, no-light:
Darkness at the shut of day,
And lions roaring,
Their wrath purring
In the wild waste place far away,

Elf-light, bat-light,
Touchwood-light, and toad-light,
And the sea a  shimmering gloom and gray,
And a small face smiling
In a dream beguiling
In a world of wonders far away.
