Under the watchful eye of a star filled night
In the glow of a full blue moon,
A wee fairy played a summer’s eve violin,
To the woodland creatures below.
“Tis a song of love,” whispered the birds to the bees,
“No ‘tis a jig” the fox replied.
And, they kicked up their heels
And, began to dance
To the music of the wee fairy.
The field mouse twirled the firefly
Over the thistle tops
While Mrs. Toad and Mr. Frog
Hopped to the jitterbug,
Tails and whiskers,
Ears and wings,
Pounding paws and swirling feet
Danced to the fairy’s jolly tune
Under the watchful eye of a star filled night
And, in the glow of a full blue moon.
“A waltz for the beetles,” the night owl hooted.
“For ‘tis a wedding they’ve had this day.”
And, with a nod of his head
The fairy eased his bow,
And, played a sweet serenade.
The doves wept as the beetles danced,
To the melodic strands of a summer’s eve violin
And, when the final note was played
All gave cheer, and clapped their wings
To the music of the wee fairy.
“And now for a lullaby,” the larks tweeted.
“To put end to the night,” the possums cried.
“A song to fill our dreams.”
In a flurry of notes,
The song floated up to the stars
And, the fairy followed after it,
Climbing up to that full blue moon,
And, with a tap of his bow, he popped it.
Sending a shower of moon dust down below.
“Tis magic,” whispered the birds to the bees.
“Tis the music of the moon,” the fox replied,
“Tis both,” the night owl hooted.
And, with paws and hands joined together,
The woodland creatures bowed low and deep
To the magic of the night,
And, the music of the wee fairy.
“Until we meet again!” he called down to them,
And, then with a wink and a nod…and a twirl of wings,
He leapt onto a shooting star,
And, with a final pluck of his violin’s strings,
Bid sweet dreams to one and all.
