FAIRY FLOWERS.
Daisies are umbrellas; all the fairies use them, too. And hold them very carefully In case the rain drips through. Buttercups are golden cups for Fairy Queens, you see, To use when they’ve a party and the fairies come to tea. Hollyhocks are fairies’ homes; they’ve rooms nil up the stem; l‘\e often seen the bees go in and pav a call on them; And tulips are shaped, as you know, just like a rounded cup. That's ‘cos Ihe fairies wash in them —the dewdrops till them up I Bose-petals are fairy frocks; each fox-glove flower’s a hat; Mushrooms are the fairies’ chairs; Snapdragons, with ugly looks and mouths that open wide Oh! they’re the only flower that no fairy can abide. .Sent by Dorothy Gordon, 6.)
