Fairy Tears

Amongst the buttercups and daisies Afore the early rising sun Is where you’ll find wet fairy tears Glistening on your lawn. They lay as drips on blades of grass They soak your shoes and feet They’re where you’ve trampled once again Then gone indoors to eat. Then fairies they come out to play And dance under the stars And mischievous elves will prank around While firefly drive like cars. But when they see how much that we Have damaged their small world The fairy drops to ground and weeps Their magic’s been unfurled. The little dew drops gently left Are fairy tears my friend For with sun and magic of natures hand Comes repair to make amend. Be carful where you put your foot A fairy might live and care So be polite when you are asked Keep off the grass walk there.
