The Father of the Fairy World
On the foggy streets of London
Lives a keeper of the flame
Who barters lovely images
And proudly sings our name
Like the slayer of Goliath
A mighty dragon, he does soar
Great friend he is to Fairyland
He chronicles our lore
Rich he is in spirit
Most powerful of pen
Back to England brings our light
That gives us hope again
The freedom of a greater force
Share the spirits of the Fae !
Embrace the magic of our realm
Enjoy a brighter day!
Peer through the craftman’s cloth-bound wares
If his wondrous shoppe you find
Breathe in the beauty that you see
Be one with Nature’s kind
He is Father of the Fairy World
His name is known abroad
With fairies, gnomes and spirit-folk
Great Mother does applaud!
If seeking shelter from the rain
On a dark and dreary night
With painted fables warm yourself
Keep dancing into light!
