Good morning 🌄 with . . . When the winds of March are awakening

*

When the winds of March are wakening

The crocuses and crickets,

Did you ever find a fairy near

Some budding little thickets,

Straightening her golden wings and

combing out her hair?

She’s there!

And when she sees you creeping up

To get a closer peek

She tumbles through the daffodils,

A-playing hide and seek,

And creeps into the tulips till

You can’t find where she’s hid?

Mine did!

Have you ever come across

A little toadstool elf

A-reading by a firefly lamp

And laughing to himself,

Or a saucy fairy queen upon

Her favorite dragonfly?

So’ve I!

It’s fun to see a fairy flutter

Off a catkin boat,

And wrap her fairy baby in

A pussy willow coat;

Oh, don’t you love the fairies

And the magic of them too?
I do!
