Fairies Rite of Spring
The meadow fairies form a ring
and dance upon the lawn,
with small Forget-Me-Nots in hand
beneath the peach-grey dawn.
On grassy hills beside the birch
they dress in flowing white,
and welcome all the tiny buds,
a customary rite.
Until the song of spring is heard
on tendrils rising high,
then sweet peas with their silky pods
all bloom beneath the sky.
