Explore "I'D Love to be a Fairy's Child" by Robert Graves on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Children born of fairy stock / Never need for shirt or frock, / Never want for food or fire, / Always get their heart's desire: / Jingle pockets full of gold, / Marry when they're seven years old. / Every fairy child may keep / Two strong ponies and ten sheep; / All have houses, each his own, / Built of brick or granite stone; / They live on cherries, they run wild -- / I'd love to be a Fairy's child.
