Fairies by Eleanor Farjeon poem

Don't go looking for fairies,
They'll fly away if you do.
You never can see the fairies
Till they come looking for you.

The Picture-Book Giant by Evaleen Stein Fairy poem

Once there was a fierce, defiant,
Greedy, grumpy, grizzly giant
In the pages of a picture-book, and he
Sometimes screamed, in sudden rages,
"I must jump out from these pages,
For this life's a much too humdrum one for me!
Fiddle-dee! Yes, this life's a quite too quiet one for me!"

So one rainy day he did it,
Took the picture-book and hid it,
Stamped his foot, and shouting loudly,
"Now I'm free!" Boldly started out, forgetting
That he could not stand a wetting!

He was just a paper giant, don't you see?
Dearie me! Just a gaudy, picture giant, don't you see?

What If by Evaleen Stein Fairy poem

When I see the new moon lightly
Through cloud ripples slip,
Then I'm sure that shining brightly
It's a fairy ship!

What if in it we were sailing
Far and far away,
With a wake of silver trailing,
Till the golden day?

Why, we'd fly back home together
Safely from the sky,
For the moon's a fairy feather
When the sun is high!

Did You Ever See? by Evaleen Stein Fairy poem

Did you ever see a fairy in a rose-leaf coat and cap
Swinging in a cobweb hammock as he napped his noonday nap?

Did you ever see one waken very thirsty and drink up
All the honey-dew that glimmered in a golden buttercup?

Did you ever see one fly away on rainbow-twinkling wings?
If you did not, why, how comes it that you never see such things?
