I Almost Got To Fairyland One Day--

Title:     I Almost Got To Fairyland One Day--
Author: Mary Carolyn Davies [More Titles by Davies]

I almost got to Fairyland, one day--
I walked out straight along the sun-path, so.
And there were little hummings in the world,
And moving things went through the grass, and all
The air was just as glad as if there were
A party, somewhere, at a fairy's house.
I knew they had a party, and I knew
That they had kept a seat for me, if I
Could only find the right turn in the road.
I was so near to Fairyland, so near
That I could almost hear the fairy gates
Swing open for me, waiting--just for me.
I was so near to Fairyland--and then,
Just then, I heard my mother calling me;
"Come in to supper, dear," I heard her call;
And so I never got to Fairyland.

I know that there are fairies, though, because
I almost got to Fairyland one day.

[The end]
