NAY, no longer I may hold you, <br />In my spirit's soft caresses, <br />Nor like lotus-leaves enfold you <br />In the tangles of my tresses. <br />Fairy fancies, fly away <br />To the white cloud-wildernesses, <br />Fly away! <br /> <br /> <br />Nay, no longer ye may linger <br />With your laughter-lighted faces, <br />Now I am a thought-worn singer <br />In life's high and lonely places. <br />Fairy fancies, fly away, <br />To bright wind-inwoven spaces, <br />Fly away!<br /><br />Sarojini Naidu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-fairy-fancies/
