Fairy Song

Oh, where do Fairies hide their heads
When snow lies on the hills
When frost has spoil'd their mossy beds
And crystalized their rills?
Beneath the moon they cannot trip
In circles o're the plain,
And drafts of dew they cannot sip
Till green leaves come again
Till green leaves come again.
Perhaps in small blue diving bells
They plunge beneath the waves,
Inhabiting the wreathed shells
That lie in coral caves
Perhaps in red
Vesuvius Carousals they maintain
And cheer their little spirits up
Till green leaves come again
Till green leaves come again.

When back they come
There'll be glad mirth
And music in the air,
And Fairy wings upon the earth,
And mischief everywhere.
The maids, to keep the elves aloof,
Will bar the doors in vain,
No keyhole will be Fairy proof
When green leaves come again
When green leaves come again.

Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hi Sherry,

Many thanks to you and your mom for reading Tomato Girl. I'm so glad that you liked it and hope you'll consider posting a review if you have time. Do you read much Southern fiction?

Best,

Jayne

you do have alot of my fave books in your collection. right now i am reading a wolf at the table by augusten burroughs...have been in a reading rut lately but have a pile waiting on me! i think adding the books i want to read to my library is a great way to keep up with them and see what other people thought who have already read them!! happy reading!

Hi, welcome to LT. I saw your "Utica" group - good luck with that. (I'd join, but I'm down in Albany...)
LT also has a "Buffalo" group and a more general "Upstate New Yorkers" group (whoops, I see you found that one already).

PS: In real life, I have a sister up in Utica who's connected with both the Whitesboro Public Library and with the local chapter of the AAUW. She may know of some reading groups, I'll give her a call.
