The Fairies Break Their Dances

Title:     The Fairies Break Their Dances
Author: A. E. Housman [More Titles by Housman]

The fairies break their dances
And leave the printed lawn,
And up from India glances
The silver sail of dawn.

The candles burn their sockets,
The blinds let through the day,
The young man feels his pockets
And wonders what's to pay.

[The end]
A. E. Housman's poem: Fairies Break Their Dances
