I'VE A BIT OF THE SKY
I've a bit of the sky, And it lies in my garden. There are fairies near by, I've a bit of the sky; Where the blue gentians high Beg forget-me,nots' pardon, I've a bit of the sky, And it lies in my garden. MARY RYNN, '31
THE FAIRIES' HAUNT
I have found the haunt of the fairies, Just a little wooded dell; But its floor is carpeted, darling, With lilies and many bluebell. A gay little brook rambles through it, Its roof is a bit of blue sky; And the little folk hide in the flowers, Till the feet of the world have passed by. MARY THORNTON, '31
