A Magical Night

The faeries came to my garden last night
I saw them, I'll have you know
They danced and pranced in the silvery light
Cast by a half moon's glow.

One wore a bluebell on his head, another a rose petal bonnet
Some wore a circlet of heather and fern with a ribbon trailing from it.
Their laughter drifted across the lawn, borne by a vagrant breeze
I watched, transfixed, as they frolicked 'til dawn
An evening of magic to seize.

No doubt you'll think me slightly fey, but I vow I saw them and so,
I'll set out some mead to welcome the sprites
Back to my garden on silvery nights
Bathed in a half moon’s glow.
