Find if you can the land where fairies dwell
What a sight to see the ethereal
To plop on lily pads, dream on bluebells

       Magic and mischief are what they impel
       Periwinkle eyes and lips of coral
       Find if you can the land where fairies dwell

Cold iron they fear, their charms it expels
Pay'em in cream and butter, their ideal
To plop on lily pads, dream on bluebells

       Through changeling babies our homes they indwell
       For they are creatures so fantastical
       Find if you can the land where fairies dwell

Butterfly-winged as the legends foretell
Fairies live to serve the queen imperial
To plop on lily pads, dream on bluebells

       If just to fool lovers with fairy spells
       And taste a night's malice quite magical
       Find if you can the land where fairies dwell
       To plop on lily pads, dream on bluebells

I love these lines:
"To plop on lily pads, dream on bluebells"
"Pay'em in cream and butter, their ideal"
(that made me smile)
"And taste a night's malice quite magical"

Now, I need you to understand something: ANY time I see the words "fairy/fairies," "wizard," "sorcerer," "dragon," or "magic" my eyes usually glaze over and I lose immediate (and I do mean immediate) interest in the piece of writing. But you, my dear, kept me entertained and held my attention through my apparent anti-fantasy psychological block. That's a huge compliment coming from me. :)
