THE FAIRY PONIES 



ROSY boy once dreamed a dream 

 About a Fairy Queen 

 Who came and promised him a wish — 

 The best he 'd ever seen. 



He thought of things to pet and love, 



Of stuff to eat and wear; 

 But last cried: "Two white ponies give 



To take me everywhere!" 



The Fairy Queen said : " They are yours ; 



You '11 find them when you rise, 

 Each in its proper stable, 



And each a living prize." 



The child awoke; the vision fled. 



Alas ! it was so sweet ! 

 But he found the ponies in his socks — 



His own two pearly feet.
