The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker

The Yarrow Fairy

 

Among the harebells and the grass.
The grass all feathery with seed,
I dream, and see the people pass;
They pay me little heed.
And yet the children (so I think)
In spite of other flowers more dear,
Would miss my clusters white and pink,
If I should disappear.
