The Fairy Ball Poem by Rose Fyleman

' I AM asked to the ball to-night, to-night ;
What shall I wear, for I must look right ? '
' Search in the fields for a lady-smock ;
Where could you find you a prettier frock ? '

' I am asked to the ball to-night, to-night ;
What shall I do for my jewels bright ? '
' Trouble you not for a brooch or a ring,
A daisy-chain is the properest thing.'

' I am asked to the ball to-night, to-night ;
What shall I do if I shake with fright ? '
' When you are there you will understand
That no one is frightened in Fairyland.'
