The Song of the Forget-Me-Not Fairy
Where do fairy babies lie
Till they’re old enough to fly?
Here’s a likely place, I think,
‘Mid these flowers, blue and pink,
(Pink for girls and blue for boys:
Pretty things for babies’ toys!)
Let us peep now, gently. Why,
Fairy baby, here you lie!

The Song of the Sweet Pea Fairies
Here Sweet Peas are climbing;
(Here’s the Sweet Pea rhyme!)
Here are little tendrils,
Helping them to climb.
Here are sweetest colours;
Fragrance very sweet;
Here are silky pods of peas,
Not for us to eat!
Here’s a fairy sister,
Trying on with care
Such a grand new bonnet
for the baby there.

I will post photos, as soon as I am able. My husband just gave me a new camera (I think he was getting antsy about me using his) and I need to install software, etc.
