I'D Love To Be A Fairy's Child Poem by Robert Graves
I'D Love To Be A Fairy's Child
Children born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their hearts desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold,
Marry when they're seven years old.
Every fairy child may keep
Two ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone;
They live on cherries, they run wild--
I'd love to be a Fairy's child.
Children like to fantasize in line with the folktales they have heard or read in their childhood. They want to be one of the lot. Thanks.

Yes, I love to be also. But all that glitters is not gold. Nice poem, very apt
