THE MYSTICAL NIGHT Mummy has tucked me In my bed so tight, Told me she loves me And turned of the light. I must stay awake Until all are asleep. Then down the stairs I will softly creep. It is so shivery Getting out of the down, I slip on my slippers And pink dressing gown. Down to the back door Quietly turn the key Then into the garden The faeries to see. Good! I have arrived On the hall clock chime, This usually means I am right on time. The moon is so full The stars are so bright, I step joyfully, Into the mystical night. The fireflies lead me, My way they will show To the old elm tree By their brilliant glow. Then, in the magic Of a large faerie ring, We will dance and party And might even sing. At the centre of the ring Is the Bumblebee Band In black and gold stripe They all look so grand. Toadstools, all varied, Are the table and chairs, And small Pixie peddlers Peddle their wares. On each toadstool table Sits a small pansy plate A glow-worm lantern Adds a light that is great. I sip sweet nectar From a yellow buttercup And on golden honeycomb I stickily sup. A friendly witch, Gives rides on her broom, So much glorious fun In the sky - to zoom. Small gentle breezes Do caress the air And I am so happy To be here, not there. I am so very tired I should go back to bed The next thing I hear “Wake up! Wake up! Old sleepy-head”. [This message has been edited by SPIRIT (01-19-2003 02:35 PM).] |

This is delightful, SPIRIT! This would make a great children's book too, I think! |

Truly enchanting! What a glorious imagination you have! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
