Fairy days

Sometimes

Some days are fairy days. The minute that you wake
You have a magic feeling that you never could mistake;
You may not see the fairies, but you know that they're about,
And any single minute they might all come popping out.
You want to laugh, you want to sing, you want to dance and run:
Everything is different, everything is fun:
The sky is full of fairy clouds, the streets are fairy ways -
Anything might happen on truly fairy days.

Some nights are fairy nights. Before you go to bed
You hear their darling music go chiming in your head;
You look into the garden, and through the misty grey
You see the trees all waiting in a breathless kind of way.
All the stars are smiling - they know that very soon
The fairies will come singing from the land behind the moon.
If only you could keep awake when Nurse puts out the light, ...
Anything might happen on a truly fairy night.
