A VISIT TO THE LAND OF SYLVAN FANTASY Away to lands of fantasy Were going to take a trip, And perhaps along our journey Of the fairies' charm 'welll sip, Bluish-green streams, Tinhling o'er the rorhs, fllong whose mossy sides flre inelodious birds in floeles. Tiny little elves, All are dressed in browns, Chasing jiuttering butterflies .find lIlHh,i7Zg gleeful sounds. Little fairy princesses With garments of pure white, Among the flowers and foliage green, COIIZZ to our eharmed sight. PVe'll see the elfves and prinfessesj Our elves sueeeed if given a ehanee. Ah!-.just listen! distant musie, And the little couples danee. Hoveringly they 'vanish Like mates of gay sunheamsj Perhaps we fan return again Ewen though it is in dreams. EDNA GAYLEN '33

i l i N H , N H J W 'I H ,, W sl ls H ?l:seeT eeses Ze: seeds THE CHARMED VISION When tlze sun no longer easts the shadows 'neath the trees, find no longer can we hear the humming of the bees,' lVhen the birds have tuehed their heads away so deep, Jnd tlze flowers upon the hills have gone to sleep, 'Tis time for fairy queens to danre and sing, Befazise of all the happiness that joyous spring doth bring. They will danre beneath the silver erested shy, Ufhile the Love Spirit everywhere is nigh,' ,ind while eaeh flower and herb, asleep on Naturels breasts, In perfume will arise, though sleeping and at rest. Then all fragrances mingled from every distant elirne. Wfill entranre them with their opiates divine. They will danee among the giant forest trees, Around tiny toadstools with graeeful ease,' Then upon their golden hair, from very, very far, There shines a little thread of light as from a distant star, find beside the tiny toadstools, by gaping frogs found sweet, hlfho seem mueh amazed at these glimmering tiny feetp Hut fairies do not fear these ereatures, beeause they're very bold. Perhaps, if you eould see them, yolfd believe what yozfre told. However, to appreciate these fairylihe delights, From intercourse with Nature, we must gain the eharmed sight To see beauties manifold as millions of sunbeams ind all that lie hidden as in our pleasant dreams.
