Along the moonlit path she wandersAlone she has much time to ponderof faerie and of times past byWondering all the time why As she turns to the left hand pathThinking of home and a warm bathThere was a glimpse of something strangeUnexpected as she does range She comes upon the Elf so fairWho tells her…… Continue reading Quiet as the stars
