Pantoum to the Fae

It happened in a deep wood

The tinkling like a bell

Gentler than such a thing could

Like the ocean through a shell

The tinkling like a bell

Or more like tiny laughter

Like the ocean through a shell

Echoing faintly after

More like tiny laughter

Like that from a fairy

Echoing faintly after

Light and airy

Like that from a fairy

A soft and gentle touch

Light and airy

The gentleness too much

A soft and gentle touch

Gliding across my cheek

The gentleness too much

In fact it made me weak

Gliding across my cheek

Dancing past my locket

In fact it made me weak

Like the fruit of the goblin market

Dancing past my locket

I remembered to hurry home

Like the fruit of the goblin market

It made me want to roam.
