SILVER WINGS
“Silver Wings, oh, what have you brought me Out of your wonderful store? A magic ring or a silver cup, Or a book of fairy lore?”
“I have brought you, my child, a string of beads And a little brown bird that sings, Some sweet mignonette and three small seeds —” “Oh, thank you, Silver Wings!
“The string of beads I shall always wear, The flower will never fade, And the three small seeds will make three trees And cover me with shade.
“The little brown bird will nest in them. And always, whenever he sings, I shall be as a child in fairyland And think of you, Silver Wings.” —Gloria Rawlinson, aged 11.
