The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker

The Windflower Fairy

 

While human~folk slumber,
The fairies espy
Stars without number
Sprinkling the sky.
The Winter's long sleeping,
Like night~time is done;
But day~stars are leaping
To welcome the sun.
Star~like they sprinkle
The wildwood with light;
Countless they twinkle~
The Windflowers white!
