~ THE WILLOW FAIRY ~

~THE SONG OF THE WILLOW FAIRY~

By the peaceful stream or the shady pool

I dip my leaves in the water cool

Over the water I lean all day,

Where the sticklebacks and the minnows play.

I dance, I dance, when the breezes blow,

And dip my toes in the stream below.

~ Drawing and poetry by Cicely Mary Barker ~

(1895 ~ 1973)
