Michaelmas Daisy Fairy
"Red
Admiral, Red Admiral
I'm glad to see you here,
Alighting
on my daisies one by one!
I hope you like their flavour
and although the Autum's near,
Are happy
as you sit there in the sun?"
"I thank you very kindly, Sir!
Your daisies are so
nice,
So pretty
and so plentiful are they;
The flavour of honey, Sir,
it really does entice;
I'd like
to bring my brothers, if I may!"
"Friend butterfly, friend butterfly,
go fetch them one and all!
I'm waiting
here to welcome every guest;
And tell them it is Michaelmas,
and soon the leaves will fall,
But I think
Autumn sunshine is the best!"
