Fairy Child

    While picking little pansies in the glen,
    She found a giant mushroom, colored red,
    And climbing up to rest her fragile wings,
    Decided to lay down her curly head.

    She slept until the morning's golden rays
    Shone down and formed a nimbus 'round her face;
    Then woke, to find her frail wings faded white,
    And wilted flowers in the fresh-ones place.
