The Faerie Tapestry

The winter night and day........ Were so long......... The nights beginning to pall She set to work......... On a tapestry for the great hall The most beautiful ever seen. Fit for a King and Queen Full of glowing lights to be seen...... From the field of green Gold of the Faerie love, smiling down from above Diligently they worked through Even the youngers!......... Pulling the green thread too How the tapestry grew! Faerie magic blessed too....... The tapestry came alive too The Faeries had woven in The love of all things kindness, sweetness, and glowings The dancing lights, through the field of green Enchanting Beauty to be seen All winter it took....... Hidden away.......... For no one to look Until the winter became a spring day The green and gold Radiating glowing fire Melting the cold How soft it felt! Beauty to make the heart melt The Faeries carried it through expectant faces following in the castle hall The Faeries rose, with the tapestry made Such colour! Such a beautiful thing to be laid............ On the castle wall............. The green gleamed The gold beamed Tiny glowing wings and mysterious things There it hung for all to see...... So soft to feel, yet as strong as steel The Faeries shone with glee The winters work done, now ,glowing like the sun Treasure in the great hall Above the castle wall
