THE KEY TO FAIRYLAND.

The trees have magic doorways

Down into Fairy-land,

Yet nobody, but only me,

Has time to understand

That if we knew the magic,

If we could work it too,

We could creep down to Fairy-town

And do as fairies do.

The keys are four-leaved clovers;

They're not so hard to get—

Just creep about and search them out,

And don't mind getting wet;

But oh! I wish the fairies

Weren't quite so secrety;

I've tried and tried, but still they hide

The key-holes for each key.


From Grave to Gay.
