Faery goes to sleep

When morninglights come Faery goes to sleep

Faery goes to sleep[1]

Sunny and windy outside

Where light green dressed tree

Dances in the early sunlight....

Long limbs post puberty handsome elves

Giggling just outside me window....

....and of the faeries, tell me...?

Happy Lorelei with sun rays clipped in her hairs....

Dressed in May leaves still translucent in early June

Morning dew like pearls strung

on spider web around her delicate long neck

Crystalline laughter reserved to poets

And seers riding bird songs

Long harpist fingers closing doors of the Faery nursery

While singing lullaby to the fairy hatchlings

Wrapped in sleep for the day to come ...

So the water nymphs slowly sinking,

Melting in their watery beds...

Faery lights extinguished one by one,

Washed away by the rising daylight....

Magic goes asleep

While humans wipe the sand out of their eyes......
