• A Fairy Went A-Marketing (Rose Fyleman)

A Fairy went a-marketing, she bought a little fish;

She put it in a crystal bowl upon a silver dish.

An hour she sat in wonderment and watched its silver gleam,

And then she gently took it up and slipped it in a stream.

A Fairy went a-marketing, she bought a colored bird;

It sang the sweetest, shrillest song that ever she had heard.

She sat besides its painted cage and listened half the day,

And then she opened wide the door and let it fly away.

A Fairy went a-marketing, she bought a winter gown,

All stitched about with gossamer and lined with thistledown.

She wore it all the afternoon with prancing and delight,

Then gave it to a little frog to keep him warm at night.

A Fairy went a-marketing, she bought a gentle mouse,

To take her tiny messages, to keep her tiny house.

All day she kept its bust feet pit-patting to and fro,

And then she kissed its silken ears, thanked it, and let it go.
