"Fairies love the innocent,
The gentle, and the mild;
All they have is freely lent
To a tender-hearted child.

"And those who cherish flowers
With ever-cheerful love,
Are dear to sylvan powers,
And spirits bright above.

"They quiet all their fears,
They solace all their woes,
And dry up all their tears,
Like dew-drops on the rose.

"Blest are they whom fairies love,
The innocent and the mild;
And all good powers above
Protect a gentle child."

Rose Marian and The Flower Fairies.
Adapted from the German Legend, By L. MARIA CHILD. 1850
