Spirits
As the fairies and elves If you are one who doubts
From under the bushes peek, That little spirits really are,
They look so majestic Go to the woods
Yet so humble and meek. And seek near and far.
With their tiny outfits There if you truly believe
In various shades of green, And truly try to see,
They dart and run around You just might glimpse
But seldom let themselves be seen. An elf peeking from behind a tree.
In the pastures they sing and play Quietly and motionless sit
With grace and charm, With a song in your heart,
But only before those From the corner of your eye
Who mean them no harm. You might get a dart.
In the woods and fields they live Then if one should step
Night and day, From behind a rock pile,
They work and toil Slowly and carefully
They frolic and play. Give him a large smile.
