"Fairy Story"

By Stevie Smith

I went into the wood one day,
And there I walked and lost my way,I

when It was so dark I could not see
A little creature came to me

He said if I would sing a song,
The time would not be very long;

But first I must let him hold my hand tight
Or elsethe wood would give me a fright.

I sang a song, he let me go,
But now I am home again there is nobody I know.
