EAIRYLAND.

BY WALTER SAVAGE LANpoR.
When violet odors fill The uir
When May is pink in hedge and lea,
Wild yearnngs seize me unaware,
And dim old longings wake 10 me
And believe in Fairyland.
When sunset fades along the West,
In blue, and green and lilac bowers,
hear the trumpels of the Blest
Blown from those old forgotten towers
And believe in Fairyland.
When summer comes with bloom and leaf,
And looks and laughs thro' waving treesI
When crimson peach and golden sheaf
Hang ripening in the sun and breeze
Then believe in Fairyland.
When kindness half would look like love,
In Dyes that give, yet veil, their lights
When song and fragrance float about,
And easements open on the night
Then believe in Fairyland.
