When I sound the fairy call,
Gather here in silent meeting,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
Cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, Take a cherry
Mine are sounder, Mine are rounder
Mine are sweeter, For the eater
When the dews fall. And you'll be fairies all.
--Robert Graves

I don't know this poem. Loverly
Love this.
Where did you find such a perfect poem??? I love anything about fairies. That Frog Prince certainly is a delight on that porch!!
Love it in black and white.
"Chin to knee on the orchard wall."
Perfect.
Shanna...that's the line I picked up on too. Maybe because it's so visual
I have many, many favorites of yours, and this is one of them. Has the Jonathan Miller Alice in Wonderland touch.
THank you, everyone.
I see...not big sparklet bottle but little water bottles
