Flower Fairies of the Wayside

OPEN YOUR EYES!

To shop, and school, to work and play,

The busy people pass all day;

They hurry, hurry, to and fro,

And hardly notice as they go

The wayside flowers, known so well,

Whose names so few of them can tell.

They never think of fairy-folk

Who may be hiding for a joke!

O, if these people understood

What's to be found by field and wood;

What fairy secrets are made plain

By any footpath, road, or lane-

They'd go with open eyes, and look,

(As you will, when you've read this book)

And then at least they'd learn to see

How pretty common things can be!

Cicely Mary Barker.
