A Fairie Rhyme 

1800's author unknown

Monday's the fairies' washing-day

The early morning hours find them all working hard away

Their wash-tubs are the flowers

The cup-like ones are best, they say

Those catch the dew, you know,

And fairies dresses washed that way

Are white as driven snow.

Tuesday's the fairies' drying-day

So Tuesdays should be fine

and rather windy, by the way,

and then the Sun should shine.

And rose-bushes should hide each thorn that day

~I'll tell you why~

It's lest the drsses should be torn

When they're hung out to dry.

Then Wednesday is ironing-day,

the Sundbeans for a joke

Come down to help. That's work, they say,

too hard for fairy folk.

They press out all the creases,

and in quite a little while

those dresses look as grand as grand,

and How the fairies smile!

Thursday's the fairies' darning-day,

Then, seated in a row

Upon an apple-blossom spray,

The fairies sit and sew,

They darn with silk each scrap of stuff

that by mistake they tore.

And, if their silk's not quite enough,

The spiders bring them more!
