The fairies have never a penny to spend, They haven’t a thing put by, But theirs is the dower of bird and flower,
And theirs is the earth and sky. And though you should live in a palace of gold, Or sleep in a dried up ditch,
You could never be as poor as the fairies are, And never as rich. —Rose Fyleman

Fairy tales for those who believe, are not a tale at all.
They’re whispered to us in our dreams, by fairies one and all.
—Carla Vredeling
