Children born of fairy stock <br />Never need for shirt or frock, <br />Never want for food or fire, <br />Always get their hearts desire: <br />Jingle pockets full of gold, <br />Marry when they're seven years old. <br />Every fairy child may keep <br />Two ponies and ten sheep; <br />All have houses, each his own, <br />Built of brick or granite stone; <br />They live on cherries, they run wild-- <br />I'd love to be a Fairy's child.<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-love-to-be-a-fairy-s-child/
