THE FAIRY BALL.
“I am asked to the ball to-night, to-night;
What shall I wear, for I must look right?”
“Search in the fields for a lady’s-smock;
Where could you find you a prettier frock?”
“I am asked to the ball to-night, to-night;
What shall I do for my jewels bright?”
“Trouble you not for a brooch or a ring,
A daisy-chain is the properest thing.”
“I am asked to the ball to night, to-night;
What shall I do if I shake with fright?”
“When you are there you will understand
That no one is frightened in Fairyland.”
R. F.
