A Spell for Summoning the Fairies
Sit where the cat sits. Cross your toes.
Close your eyes. And smell a rose.
Then say under your breath:
"I believe in fairies, sure as death."
Gadflykins! Gladtrypins!
Gutterpuss and Cass!
Come to me fairily
Each lad and lass!
From "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book"
Sweet Dancer
The girl goes dancing there
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
Grass plot of the garden;
Escaped from bitter youth,
Escaped out of her crowd,
Or out of her black cloud.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!
If strange men come from the house
To lead her away, do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead them gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!
William Butler Yeats
Come faires
take me out of this dull world
for I would ride with you
upon the wind and dance
upon the mountains like a flame
William Butler Yeats
A lady with whom I was riding in the forest
said to me that the woods always seemed to
her to wait, as if the genii who inhabit
them suspend their deeds until the wayfarer
has passed onward; a thought which poetry
has celebrated in the dance of the fairies,
which breaks off on the approach of human feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'd Love To Be A Fairy's Child
Children born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their hearts desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold,
Marry when they're seven years old.
Every fairy child may keep
Two ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone;
They live on cherries, they run wild--
I'd love to be a Fairy's child.
Robert Graves

This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human or otherwise,
are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it
might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence.
Or lack thereof.
