THE PIXIES


In a dark green fairy ring;
A hop-bine tied upon buttercup stalks
Makes them a capital swing,
And a strip of wood from a hawthorn bough
On a toadstool placed, is a see-saw now.
At hide-and-seek in the grasses as tall
As a pixie on tiptoe

Toss in the air, to and fro;
And the finest game on a moonlight night
Is their leaping over the mushrooms white.
