The Wee Folk



ivy
Since ever and ever
the world began
They have danced like a ribbon of flame.
They have sung their song
Through the centuries long,
And yet it is never the same.

The Road to Fairyland
by Ernest Thompson Seton


Do you seek the road to fairyland?
I'll tell, it's easy, quite.
Wait till a yellow moon gets up
O'er purple seas by night
And gilds a shining pathway
That is sparkling diamond-bright.
Fairyland

And though you be foolish or though you be wise
With hair of silver or gold,
You can never be as young as the fairies are,
And never ever as old.
Rose Flyeman

Disney's Three Fairies


Then, if no evil power be nigh
To thwart you, out of spite,
And if you know the very words
To cast a spell of might

You get upon a thistledown
And if the breeze is right,
You sail away to fairyland
Along this track of light.

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 owl's feather.

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

wee folk airy mountain

By the craggy hillside, through the mosses bare,
They have planted thorn trees for pleasure, here and there.
If any man so daring as dig them up in spite,
He shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night.

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 owl's feather.
