And the Fairy sang to the poor child, and stroked its tangled hair, and smoothed its puckered cheeks.
And it sang and sang until the little face that had been full of trouble grew bright with the cheer of heartsease.
And still the Fairy sang and sang until, from very peacefulness, the child's eyes began to droop and softly close, just as the flowers droop and hang their pretty heads at twilight-song.
