The Fairy's Cottage

Have you seen the fairy’s cottage

That hides in the Deep Woods,

Where fairies dance by moonlight

And hold feasts sharing baked goods?


At the fairy’s cottage

They bake delicious treats,

Like honeysuckle cookies

And caramelized beets.


At the fairy’s cottage

They tell wonderful stories

Of fairies outsmarting dragons

And of ancient warriors’ histories.


At the fairy’s cottage

They play by the streams,

And they fish for dream fish

Whose scales give you good dreams.


At the fairy’ cottage,

You see magnificent creatures,

Like black elks with gold antlers

And other odd features.


At the fairy’s cottage,

Everything is peaceful,

And living free in the woods

Is absolutely wonderful.
