THE FAIRIES HAVE NEVER A PENNY TO SPEND
The fairies hare never a penny to spend, They haven't a thing put by, But theirs is tho dower of bird aid of flower, And theirs are the earth and the 6ky. And tho' you should live in a. palace of gold Or sleep in a dried-up ditch, You can never be poor as the fairies are, And never as rich. Since ever and ever the world began They, have danced like a ribbon of flame, They have sung their song through the centuries long, And yet it is never the same. And tlio' you bo foolish or tho' you be wise With hair of silver or gold, You could never be young as the fajnes are, And never as old.
