Johnlow And The Yonder Faerie

in the garden
of alms houses
    far
     from yard
      to door
then on
to pasture grasses
    raw
     then more
a faerie from a 
yonder land
came crying 
laid at 
Johnlow’s floor
    and cry
     did cry
a tear’s galore
then spake 
did she
when Johnlow saw
her wyng-tip
looking ghastly sore
up stood Johnlow
he start’d fro
    and sew
      did sew
from woven sakke
n’ wrapp’d it best
‘pon dainty back
    she flew
      n’ flew
with cautious ware
back to yonder
    over there
