Fairies
We've experienced today in the weather
A migration of little white fairies,
Whose singular mission in winter
Is to banish the brown-ness that wearies.
They powder and polish with vigour.
And the world sparkles white with their numbers!
Piling high (each one on the other!)
Brown-ness gone 'neath the world-cleaning wonders.
But they raise such a heat,
With their small fairy feet,
That the end of the day
Finds them melted away,
And the work waiting there for another.
