The song of the Poppy Fairy....

I love Cicely Mary Baker's Flower Fairies

and I have nearly a complete set of her beautiful illustration..

here's the poppy fairy, one of my favorites

from my little collage a day book.

and so...

The song of the Poppy Fairy

by: Cicely Mary Baker..

The green wheat's a-growing,

the lark sings on high; 

In a scarlet silk a- glowing,

Here stand I.

The wheat's turning yellow,

Ripening for sheaves;

I hear the little fellow

Who scare the bird- thieves.

Now the harvest's ended,

The wheat-field is bare;

But still, red and splendid,

I am there.

happy weekend!!
