Hush! I see a fairy –
Pretty wings and all –
She’s flitting thro’ the undergrowth
And teasing me to call:
‘I beg you, dainty creature,
So tiny, sweet and fair,
To let me blink and gaze again
For truth you’re really there! ‘
Her eyes return a twinkle
With complimentary smile,
Before she ups and disappears
To leave me in denial!
