Usage in poetry
And would'st thou bid me court her faery form
When, as she sports her in some happier mood,
Her many-colour'd robes
Dance varying to the Sun?
L’ENVOI
The friends I have without a peer
Beyond the western ocean’s glow,
Whither the faerie galleys steer,
They do not know: how should they know?
The phantom of some fancy
I knew when I was young,
And in my dreaming boyhood,
The wildwood flow'rs among,
Young face to face with Faery
Spoke in no unknown tongue.
Would we might see the valley kist
Once more by tender wreaths of mist,
Until it seems that there must lie
The secret land of faery
Behind the rising wreaths of mist.

Winding down to Arcady?

With the grace and gleam of faery--

In the land of Arcady?"

Little men with leather hats
Mend the boots of Faery
From the tough wings of the bats.
So my mother told to me,
And she is wise you will agree. .
