Beside My Hearth

Fairy folk from out the wood

dusty from their roaming

singing, chanting, laughing wild 

gather in the gloaming.  

Shadow shapes they flit and flirt

whisking 'neath the eaves

  dancing through the dimpsy cool,  

a rustle through the leaves.

Star and moon and fire flies

shine upon the greeting

of little folk, the magic folk

at their solstice meeting.

  Round about my house they race

in suits of forest gleaning

leaping high in their joy

bright, bright eyes a-gleaming.


Beside my hearth there is a stool

small and neat and tricksy

a stool so small as for a doll

but mine is for a Pixie.
