The Song of The Primrose Fairy The Primrose opens wide in spring; Her scent is sweet and good- It smells of every happy thing In sunny lane and wood. I have not half the skill to sing And praise her as I should. She's dear to folk throughout the land; In her is nothing mean- She freely spreads on every hand Her petals pale and clean. And though she's neither proud nor grand, She is the Country Queen.
The Song of The Poppy Fairy The green wheat's a-growing, The lark sings on high; In scarlet silk a-glowing, Here stand I. The wheat's turning yellow, Ripening for sheaves; I hear the little fellow Who scares the bird-thieves. Now the harvest's ended, The wheat-field is bare; But still, red and splendid, I am there.
The Song of The Narcissus Fairy Brown bulbs were buried deep; Now, from the kind old earth, Out of the winter's sleep, Comes a new birth! Flowers on stems that sway; Flowers of snowy white; Flowers as sweet as day, After the night. So does Narcissus bring Tidings most glad and plain- "Winter's gone; here is Spring - Easter again!"
The Song of The Wayfaring Tree Fairy My shoots are tipped with buds as dusty-grey As ancient pilgrims toiling on their way. Like Thursday's child with far to go, I stand, All ready for the road to Fairyland; With hood, and bag, and shoes, my name to suit, And in my hand my gorgeous-tinted fruit.
The wind is cold, the Spring seems long a-waking; The woods are brown and bare; Yet this is March- soon April will be making All things most sweet and fair. See, even now, in hedge and thicket tangled, One brave and cheering sight- The leafless branches of the Blackthorn, spangled With starry blossoms white!
