THE FAIRY PICTURES.

Il
I'm very fond Of reading
The tales Of Doctor Doyle,
I like the crooks be puts in books
For sherlock Holmes to fol.
And some Of his romances.
That long ago 1 read.
OF gallant knights and smashlnE
fights,
Still Iinger in my head.
But when he says that fairies
Will sit around a glade,
And bask and smile and pose the
while
They have their pictures made,
And that they're firm and solid.
Like little children are,
rather think ne crowds the brink
OF phantasy too far.
For fairies are like sunbeams-
All built Of filmy light
II YOU or I should happen by
They'd vanish from our sight.
And oh, they're shrewd and guileful,
And much too full of craft
These wanton elves-to let them
selves
Be ever photographed.
And even if the pictures
Should honestly reveal.
In tones and tints on silver prints
That fairy folk are real.
The last illusion left Us
Would perish on the spot;
We've loved TO dwell beneath their
spell
Because we know they re not!
