The Fairy Alarm

Ev’ry morning natures wonder
My wren begins his song
Tiny bird with voice of thunder
Who calls so loud and long
Tells the fairies in my garden
It’s time to go to bed
Ere the daylight starts to harden
The early bird unfed
All night long the magic creatures
Will work to paint my world
Giving life to garden features
While keeping petals curled
In spring they feed the little flowers
They paint the shoots with green
Their nightime filling daylight hours
With scenes that must be seen
Summer brings them frantic labours
Their hours are short and filled
Beauty far beyond the neighbours
With joy so freely spilled
Autumn needs their magic daily
Sweet fruits and breaths of gold
Trees must be emblazoned gayly
The year is getting old
Winter time their work is hidden
Beneath the parts I see
All the magic not forbidden
To build the year for me
