Fairy laughter I am the Watcher on the hill. Dark the night and all is still. Crystal bright the faint stars gleam. Yet nothing is ever what it seems! Silent the stones stand circle round. Enclosed an ancient hallowed ground. Nothing moves ,my lips in prayer. Calling forth the changeling Hare! As the moon slips from behind a cloud. In the circle centre erect and proud. By moonlight now the change displayed. Gone the Hare,now see the Maid! Bright her eyes from jewels made. Flashing green ,deep coloured jade. Black her hair long hanging glows. Shining silks her wantons cloths. White and proud her rounded breast. Hidden and reveiled by her silken dress. Now she moves,or is it flows? Beneath her clinging liquid clothes. Now she dances,wild music rare. Called by magic from the still night air. She leaves the circle and I must follow after. A slave to the sound of her fairy laughter. arthur notes-in english folklore the hare is a magical creature Britain is full of round stone circles ,5000 years old,magical-but whose magic? |

Now she dances,wild music rare. Called by magic from the still night air. She leaves the circle and I must follow after. A slave to the sound of her fairy laughter. Arthur, this is beautiful. I could almost see the fairy dancing around. Hugs Ethel |
