One morning. In wandering over me
country,
M II came 10 hillside where fairies had
been.
fAnd now YOU are wondering how
should know 1t,
e As fairies by mortals nave never oee''
sa eeen.)
III tell you the secret, tho scarce you II
III believe me-
Great matches of clover grey oil up the
slope;
And In the close ranks OF that oai'''s
green army
MA saw but few of the plain common
folk
Tho little three-leafers-that we're so
accustomed
if To see meath our feet, every day, as
we pass;
But staring up brightly, IN prloe az 'ie'i
strangeness,
We're four.leaves and flve.leaves thick
studding the grass.
And now comes the wonders the fairies
had been there
II The good ones and bad ones In bril-
liant array.
And where each wee foot toucheu inc
earth in the nazes,
III or dancing a clover sprung up ere the
i day.
lThe four-leaves. you've guessed, were IN
good fairies footprints;
II, The five-leaves grew up where the bad
fairies slept;
i5And each held the spell which the fairy
MS was weaving,
is AS she danced in the moonlight, while
you and I slept.
So never forget, when dear four-leaf
clover
You spy, quick to Gull it, and put in
your shoe,
And good luck twill bring you; but shun
the fve-leafer,
For naught but misfortune It carries
for you. New Idea.
