GONE WITH THE FAIRY
It was a cold night, on the snowy hill
Where moon slept on the slopes
A lonely hut with a lantern lit....
Stood awake as hope.
There he laid by the window side
With lips dry and cold,
His big eyes had a gloomy look
Flowing out on the white stones.
Mom went to bring some milk
From where he doesn’t know,
May from the bar, she went to work
Or from that milky snow.
Mon says a fairy will come
With all he desired for...
A loaf of bread , a cap that is red,
And a warm bed on the floor.
But when will be her time to come
As he waited for so long...
On this shabby rag
,with a lonely heart
He sang her many songs.
His eyes are falling deep in sleep
With all his might he can’t hold...
Today you come, you lovely fairy
For today he feels so cold
There she comes , his lovely fairy
With a red cap in her hand...
There today she sings for him
With her heavenly merry band
And now he is in her cozy arms
She kissed him on his head,
And now here in this heartless world
There is enough love to spread
There he goes as the gentle breeze
Floating with the band..
With shinny eyes and
cheerful souls
They goes hand in hand .
