The Fairy Song

The Fairy Song

There's a fairy in my bedroom,
Escaping from the rainfall,
She flew in my broken window,
And she perched upon my wall.

I pretended to be sleeping
As she started to explore,
I heard her flit around the roof,
and prance across the floor.

She dried her wings upon my hair,
And sang a cradle-song,
Her voice so sweet and magical,
I yearned to sing along. 

She sang the wind among the trees,
The crashing of the waves,
The enchantment of a foggy day,
The secrets of the caves. 

I whispered to her softly,
'Teach me your melody'
She smiled, bent down to my ear,
And sang her song to me.

That morning when I wakened,
The fairy girl had flown away.
But on my bed she left gold dust,
In my memory music lay.  

I know most will think I'm dreaming,
They'll tell me that I'm wrong,
But I'll smile and keep on singing,
For I know the fairy's song.
