Fairy Rings

by Evaleen Stein
 

Softly in the gloaming
  Flitting through the vale,
Fairy folk are roaming
  Over hill and dale.

Pixies in the hollow,
  Elves upon the height,
Let us follow, follow
  Through the paling light.

Follow, all unbidden,
  To the grassy glade
Wrapped around and hidden
  In the forest shade.

Hark the elfin tinkle
  Of their little lutes!
Mark the golden twinkle
  Of their fairy flutes!

See them dancing, dancing,
  While the silver moon
Tips their swiftly glancing
  Little silver shoon!

Tripping, tripping lightly,
  Where their footprints fall,
Look! the grass is brightly
  Growing green and tall!

Springing close, unbroken,
  In a fairy ring,
For to-morrow's token
  Of their frolicking!
