Fairie-ality

There sleeps Titania
some time of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers
with dances and delight;
And there the snake 
throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to
wrap a fairy in.

~

On tops of dewy grass
Nimbly do we pass,
The young and tender stalk
Ne'er bends when we do walk.
Yet in the morning may be seen
Where we the night before have been.

~

I sing of feather gowns
and veils of air; 
Of lilies for the
bride most fair.

~

After releasing clouds of butterflies, the 
flower girls continue spinning their magic, 
scattering rose petals from
their glossy magnolia leaf baskets 

~
