THE CANDLE FAIRY
Thecandle is a fairy houseThat’s smooth and round and white,And Mother carries it aboutWhenever it is night.Right at the top a fairy lives,A lovely yellow one,And if you blow a little bitIt has all sorts of fun.It bows and dances by itselfIn such a clever way,And then it stretches very tall;“Well,itgrows fast,” you say.The little chimney of the houseIs black and really sweet,And there the candle fairy standsThough you can’t see its feet.And when the dark is very bigAnd you’ve been having dreams,Then Mother brings the candle in;How friendly like it seems!It’s only just for Mothers thatThe candle Fairy comes;And if you play with it, it bitesYour fingers and your thumbs.But still you love it very muchThis candle Fairy, dear,Because, at night, it always meansThat Mother’s very near.
