And there's other things besides fairy dresses—

There's Lady's Mirror and Lady's Tresses.

Bachelors' Buttons must be for elves

Who have to do up their clothes themselves;

And the tailor fairies use Fairy Shears,

Long cutting-grasses that grow by meres;

And they mend their things with the Spider-stitches,

Faint white flowers that you find in ditches,

And Shepherd's Needle, which you'll see plain

In every meadow and field and lane;
