By Natalie Davis

At dusk the old world lives again

As faeries fill the open air.

The Small Folk come, the world reclaim;

They journey from I know not where.

Ancient secrets spice the wind,

Things forgotten long ago—

Few alone remember them.

The blowing breeze and dead men know.

The sun, a queen whose reign is over,

Sinks in the west with fading light.

The moon climbs up in pale grandeur

And bathes the sky in brilliant white.

Fireflies are faerie beacons,

Sparkling in the darkening dusk.

Higher up the star-beams twinkle.

Lights below, and lights above,

Together like some elvish tune,

Each part plays so skillfully,

Singing to the earth, they croon,

Creating a sort of symphony.
