6 Quotes by Rose Fyleman

Blind folk see the fairies.Oh, better far than we,Who miss the shining of their wingsBecause our eyes are filled with thingsWe do not wish to see.Deaf folk hear the fairiesHowever soft their song;'Tis we who lose the honey soundAmid the clamour all aroundThat beats the whole day long.

And though you should live in a palace of gold, or sleep in a dried up ditch,You could never be as poor as the fairies are, and never as rich.

Have you watched the fairies when the rain is done, Spreading out their little wings to dry them in the sun?

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden.

Blind folk see the fairies. Oh, better far than we, Who miss the shining of their wings Because our eyes are filled with things We do not wish to see.

And though you should live in a palace of gold, or sleep in a dried up ditch, You could never be as poor as the fairies are, and never as rich.
