A little child, a limber elf,
Singing, dancing to itself,

A fairy thing with red round cheeks,
That always finds, and never seeks,

Makes such a vision to the sight
As fills a father's eyes with light.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772-1834
English poet, critic and philosopher.

'Christabel' (18160pt.2, conclusion, 1.656)
