flitting about on fairies wings
made of the finest thread.
spreading tales of fairy land
where others have not tread.

spinning fables of dragons lore
of knights and maidens fair
and of elves that would be king
said fairies they do beware.

they tell of city streets
paved with the purest gold
and youth forever known to all
buried treasures yet untold.

stories of the dragon
that breathed an awful fire
who fell victim to the knight
to win his heart's desire.

Said fairies also tell stories
of Elves that would be kings
and of the broken hearts
such maidens fair did bring.

To be welcomed among the fairies
to hear the tales they spin
is a privilege unknown to most
unless said tale you do begin.
