FAIRY SONG
Like a giant dandelion Shines the sun, so brave and bold With his thousand narrow rays Yellower than elfin gold.
Then, against the darkling sky Hangs the old moon large and frail As the dandelion spheres Flutter in a summer gale.
Comes a lusty, romping wind Merry as a boy at play, Blows—and lo, on every side Faint star-clusters float away.
