' The loving touch'

I'd love to be a fairies child

Children born of fairy stock Never need for shirt or frock Never want for good or fire Always get their hearts desire Jingle pockets full of gold Marry when their seven years old Every fairy child must keep Two ponies and ten sheep All have houses each his own Built of bricks and granite stone They live on cherries, they run wild Id love to be a fairies child

Robert Graves

Come away , o human child ! To the waters and the wild With a faery hand in hand For the world is more full of weeping than you understand W.B. Yeats

There was never a merry world since the fairies went off dancing.        John Seldon

I met a lady in the meads Full, beautiful , a fairies child Her hair was long, her foot was light and her eyes were wild . John Keats

Th iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers to bed; tis fairy time ~William Shakespeare~

Come faeries , take me out of this dull world, for i will ride upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame. W.B.Yeats
