There was a little fairy br Sat beneath a tree - br Humming to her tiny self br A haunting melody; br Just a little tinkle br Was all that I could hear br Floating on the evening breeze br High and crystal clear; br Surrounded by a rainbow, br Sparkles lit the air - br Tiny wings did flutter br Sprinkling gold dust in her hair; br A tiny little forest sprite br Had slipped the bonds of space, br Perhaps a mere imagined thought br Had brought her to this place; br How sweet the sound she echoed br Within this forest spot - br Though I had never seen a sprite br Her image now I caught; br This tiny little fairy br Sat beneath a tree - br Humming to her tiny self br A haunting melody.
