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
