Fairy Poems by

Cicely Mary Barker

Spring Magic

The World is very old;

But year by year

It growth new again

When buds appear.

The World is very old,

And sometimes sad;

But when the daisies come

The World is glad.

The World is Very old;

But every Spring

It growth young again,

And Fairies sing.

The Song of the Primrose Fairy

The Primrose opens wide in spring;

Her scent is sweet and good:

It smells of every happy thing

In sunny lane and wood.

I have not half the skill to sing

And praise her as I should.

She’s dear to folk throughout the land;

In her is nothing mean:

She freely spreads on every hand

Her petals pale and clean.

And though she’s neither proud nor grand.

She is the Country Queen.
