Explore "The Pixy People" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was just a very / Merry fairy dream! -- / All the woods were airy / With the gloom and gleam; / Crickets in the clover / Clattered clear and strong, / And the bees droned over / Their old honey-song.
In the mossy passes, / Saucy grasshoppers / Leapt about the grasses / And the thistle-burs; / And the whispered chuckle / Of the katydid / Shook the honeysuckle / Blossoms where he hid.
