The Flight Of The Fairies - Children’s Tea Party Poems
The Flight of the Fairies poem would delight older children, about 6-8 years old for a Fairy Tea Party. This poem is reminscent of Cicely Barker’s Flower Fairies.
There’s a rustle in the woodlands
And a sighing in the breeze
For the Little Folk are busy
In the bushes and the trees.
They are packing up their treasures
Every one with nimble hand
Ready for the coming journey back
To sunny Fairyland.
They have gathered up the jewels
From their beds of mossy green
With all the dewy diamonds
That summer morns have seen
The silver from the lichen
And the powdered gold dust too
Where the buttercups have flourished
And the dandelions grew.
They packed away the birdies’ songs
Then, lest we should be sad
They left the Robin’s carol out
To make the winter glad
They packed the fragrance of the flowers
Then, lest we should forget
Out of the pearly scented box
They dropped a Violet.
Then o’er a leafy carpet
By the silent woods they came
Where the golden bracken lingered
And the maples were aflame.
On the stream the starlight shimmered
O’er their wings the moonbeams shone
Music filtered through the forest
And the Little Folk were gone.
