Anything might happen on truly fairy days.

Some nights are fairy nights. Before you go to bed

You hear their darling music go chiming in your head;

You look into the garden and through the misty grey

You see the trees all waiting in a breathless kind of way.

All the stars are smiling; they know that very soon

The fairies will come singing from the land behind the moon.

If only you could keep awake when Nurse puts out the light . . .

Anything might happen on a truly fairy night.
