My Fairy Sea
by D.K. Stevens




I know a deep and boundless sea
That takes three fairy days to reach;
And if you'll go along with me,
We'll play forever on the beach.

My sea is splendid to behold:
It's top is all a shimmering light,
Just  like the narrow path of gold
The moon makes on your sea at night.

It's waves are never blue or green,
but just a lovely kind of pink;
The shore is sugar, white and clean,
Which makes the water good to drink.

And if you want your fortune told;
To know what's coming in a year,
You only have to find and hold
One of my seashells to your ear.

Of course it is a distant sea,
And takes three fairy days to reach;
But if you'll go along with me,
We'll play forever on the beach.
